O.k. I relinquish on mysqldump. It would be a little overacted to kill 
someone only because of one command.

 Harald, nobody prevents you from teaching your students how to dump
 MySQL databases even if that isn't actually an exam topic.
There are lots of things that students have to learn out of the scope 
from certifications.

  I surely do *not* want you to die, Anselm, but I do back you on this line.

 That's right! Topic 105.3 is named SQL data management. That does not 
 include backup or restoring of data. But no law stops us from changing 
 the name of this topic. It's also possible to increase the weight to 3, 
 so we can put an additional question on the exam about this.

Harald, nobody prevents you from teaching your students how to dump
MySQL databases even if that isn't actually an exam topic. I teach my
students not to touch MySQL with a long pole, and would like to keep
things that way.

Also, if you want MySQL certification you know where to find that.
