You might need to pass authentication information, e.g.
%mysqldump -u wikiuser -p wikidb >wikidb.sql
Also check the database name and server state, etc.
If I try the same command in phpmyadmin, I get:
mysqldump is an application, not an SQL statement; it won't work in
phpMyAdmin.

Hi Rob,
finally I can dump and restore my db correctly with
mysqldump -u root -p --default-character-set=latin1 -d wikidb
'/home/klaus/backup.sql'
mysql -u root -p wikidb < '/home/klaus/wikidb.sql'
I did this for my local db and with this method I have no more charset
problem ! That's what I am searching since a long time. There must be a
problem with phpmyadmin, because saving and restoring with phpmyadmin
2.9.1.1 creates charset problems if if I indicate "MySQL connection
collation:" latin1_bin.
But now the great question: how can I do the same thing with my db on the
web (
ovh.net). Mysqldump does'nt work within phpmyadmin, so I can't execute
it remotely.
The manpage says:
mysqldump is also very useful for populating databases by copying data from
one MySQL server to another:
shell> mysqldump --opt db_name | mysql --host=remote_host -C db_name
Is this the right way to dump my db remotely ? If yes, can you explain this
command a little bit ? What is "remote_host -C" ?
Or is there a script to do it, for example dumpBackup.php ? Can I restore
then with importDump.php ?
All this is quite new for me, I always used phpmyadmin or a scrit to upload
my local db and I never had these problems.
thanks
Klaus
I think a found a way to do it.
proposes a php script:
<?
system("mysqldump --host=sql_server --user=name_of_db --password=passwort
name_of_db > name_of_db.sql");
?>
I shall try this tomorrow with the option "--default-character-set=latin1"
