Re: why does basic MySQLdump on db table fail with "Permission denied", or else it creates a zero KB file

...which strikes me as odd (again, showing how new I am to driving from the CL), because I
do NOT see any entry like this:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump

Is "mysql" a symbolic link?

..which I just (earlier this morning) changed to this:

You are missing a point, that the proper thing for PATH is directory (or effective
directory), not runfile in directory. This, therefore, is more right:

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH

After this, surely, you can run "mysqldump" or "mysql" or "mysqlbinlog" or ....
