And again: <code> mysqldump -u_user_ -p_pass_ –databases _dbname_ > _dbname_.sql mysql -u_user_ -p_pass_ < _dbname_.sql </code> Well.. it didn’t. And again:

mysqldump -u_user_ -p_pass_ –databases _dbname_ > _dbname_.sql
mysql -u_user_ -p_pass_ < _dbname_.sql

In addition, if you add the name of the database to the command line when restoring the database, will result in the following error: ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'db_name'. The correct sequence is: mysqldump -u -p --databases > .sql mysql -u -p < .sql Cheers, Pimmy Not specifying the option –databases in mysqldump will not add the CREATE DATABASE into the output.sql file.

The correct sequence is:
mysqldump -u -p –databases > .sql
mysql -u -p < .sql
