mysqldump –user=root –password=yourpassword –host=localhost google_test > mybackup.sql
What I like to do is remember the direction of the bracket as an arrow and what I’m trying to do. For example the “>” bracket for
mysqldumppoints from the database name to the file name. If you were importing the database, the arrow would point from the filename to the database name.Happy coding,
