mysqldump download

[bonosa]

I tried typing in mysqldump in the client but it doesnt know what this is. Do I need to install something?

I was looking for a download link on the mysql site for the mysqldump program but cant find it. I do see mysql snap at other websites but want to get it from the official site if indeed it is a separte install..

thanks,
sb

When you say "in the client", do you mean at the MySQL client command prompt, which would be the wrong place (it only accepts SQL)?

You would run mysqldump from a system command shell; the program is in the mysql/bin directory.

The file should be included in a normal MySQL installation. However, it might not be included in an "essentials" installation; if that's the case with you, then you could download the "full" package and install that.

I was typing it in the mysql client.

Many thanks for the help,
