Hum.... why not use:

mysqldump -u user --password=passwd --result-file=/some/place/file.sql (or 
c:\\file.sql) --database db_name

Well,

I would think that would be the problem.

The proper command would be

$mysqldump -u user -pyourpwd test > test.sql, where

"-u user" is you user name
"-pyoupwd" is you password. This is not a mistake MySQL requires when
one use "-p" not "--password" to have password entered in the format
presented, meaning no spaces between "-p" and actual password.
"test" - would be a database name

The -p switch is for the password.

Hi Melissa,

Could you tell me, what is the meaning of the "- p" switch at the end of
your command?

I am dumping tables larger than 320MB. I have a range of tables up to
613MB and I am able to dump them, only difference I can see is that we
are in Unix you seems to be running Windows.

Best,

Mikhail Berman

I use mysqldump to export data but not with that size. I don't know if
there is a limitation to the size mysqldump can export. You could check
the documentation.


Here's my command.
$mysqldump -u user test > test.sql -p


try mysqldump with no other users connecting to the database. if it
succeeds, probably locking issues.

you could also try mysqldump from the localhost. if it succeeds,
probably network congestion or others.
