Hi guys,

I don't see anything wrong with this syntax:

mysqldump --user=LoginName --password=MyPassword my_wiki --xml > file.xml

But I am getting a complaint, "#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'mysqldump --user=LoginName --password=MyPassword my_wiki' at line 1"

The example given was mysqldump --user=wikidb_user --password=wikidb_userpassword wikidb --xml > file.xml

And I replaced wikidb_user with LoginName (which is the name as viewed in phpmyadmin password with the password I use to log in to the wiki, i.e. MyPassword) and wikidp with the database name as displayed by phpmyadmint as the table name wright below the information_schema table. ( also tried using the Wiki's name, but received the same failure for bad syntax.)
