Question

I used .

mysqldump -d -u root  -p frontend > frontend.sql

But above command is dumping only schema not the data from the database .

Please help me out how can i dump the database along the data also.

Answer 1

mysqldump offers plenty of options to build a proper backup from your database:

mysqldump [options] db_name [tbl_name ...]
mysqldump [options] --databases db_name ...
mysqldump [options] --all-databases

Here you can find more detail about how to mysqldump:

Answer 2

You just need to remove -d from your mysqldump command

Answer 3

backup: #

mysqldump -u root -p[password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql

restore:#

mysql -u root -p[password] [database_name] < dumpfilename.sql

Answer 4

To restore database from .sql dumpfile

mysql -u [yourusername] -p [password] [nameofthedatabase] < /pathtoyoursqldumpfile.sql

Use mysqldump to create backup from database.

mysqldump -u [yourusername] -p [password] [nameofthedatabase] > /pathtoyoursqldumpfile.sql

Answer 5

backup: # mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql

This will do,

If your requirement is to dump data alone then go for this,

To export to file (data only)

mysqldump -u [user] -p[pass] --no-create-db --no-create-info mydb > mydb.sql

Answer 6

I think the command you would need will be mysqldump. Try the following:

mysqldump -u root -p -h localhost frontend < frontend.sql
