Mysql Backup with create schema

Question

I am in need of backing up a data base (dump) that come with create schema. What is the command line using putty (via SSH) to do this job ? I researched and thought this command but it does only the tables backup and data.

mysqldump -h HOST -u LOGIN -pSENHA --opt --routines --triggers BANCO > backup.sql

Answer 1

Use the option --databases BANCO , ie

mysqldump -h HOST -u LOGIN -pSENHA --opt --routines --triggers --databases BANCO > backup.sql

This will add create database (and drop database ) statements to the dump.

And in case you wonder: schema and database are synonymous in MySQL: Difference Between Schema / Database in MySQL .
