.TP
.TP
.BR \-\-fields-optionally\-enclosed\-by=...
.TP
.BR \-\-fields\-escaped\-by=...
.TP
.BR \-\-lines\-terminated\-by=...
These options are used with the
.BR -T
option and have the same meaning as the corresponding clauses for LOAD DATA INFILE. See Mysql manual section 7.23 LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax.
.TP
.BR \-v | \-\-verbose
Verbose mode. Print out more information on what the program does.
.TP
.BR \-V | \-\-version
Print version information and exit.
.TP
.BR "\-O net_buffer_length=#, where # < 16M "
When creating multi-row-insert statements (as with option
.BR --extended-insert
or
.BR --opt
), mysqldump will create rows up to net_buffer_length length. If you increase this variable, you should also ensure that the max_allowed_packet variable in the MySQL server is bigger than the net_buffer_length.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
The most normal use of mysqldump is probably for making a backup of whole databases. See Mysql Manual section 21.2 Database Backups.
.TP
mysqldump \-\-opt \fP\fIdatabase\fP > backup-file.sql
.TP
You can read this back into MySQL with:
.TP
.BR mysql
\fP\fIdatabase\fP
.BR <
backup-file.sql
.TP
or
.TP
.BR mysql
\-e 'source /patch\-to\-backup/backup\-file.sql' database
.TP
However, it's also very useful to populate another MySQL server with information from a database:
.TP
mysqldump \-\-opt \fP\fIdatabase\fP | mysql \-\-host=\fP\fIremote\-host\fP \-C database
.TP
It is possible to dump several databases with one command:
.TP
mysqldump \-\-databases database1 [ database2 database3... ] > my_databases.sql
.TP
If all the databases are wanted, one can use:
.TP
mysqldump \fP\fI\-\-all\-databases\fP > all_databases.sql
