Hi @levan100
The code example you’ve supplied is for importing data - not exporting.
You should use mysqldump, since it tries to do the data dump without blocking the database tables.
mysqldump -u [username] -p [database-you-want-to-dump] > [path-to-place-data-dump]
So it could be something like this:
mysqldump -u root -p mydatabase > /home/myuser/database-dump.sql
Then the database dump would be /home/myuser/database-dump.sql
You can read more about mysqldump here:
