mysqldump on Mac os x

[rudenborg]

Hi-

I'm trying to use the mysqldump command. I cannot figure out how I'm supposed to use it. is it from the mysql command line or right from the UNIX promt? If from the UNIX prompt what directory am I supposed to be in?

I'm using the terminal application in mac os x.

Thanks!

mysqldump will be from the Unix command prompt.

It can be run from any directory.

this is what I tried:

[mrpickwick:~] joanna% mysqldump --databases --opt rcvf > ~/Desktop/rcvf.sql

and I get this:

mysqldump: Command not found.

any ideas?

Thanks again for your help!

Either the application is not installed on your machine or it is not in your search path.

I don't know enough about OSX to know how many unix commands are available. You might try:

find / -name mysqldump

from the command line to find the program.
