Exporting a database to a sql script 1

Getting to the command-line in XAMPP. Go to All Programs/XAMPP/XAMPP Control Panel. Click on Shell. 2

Use the mysqldump command. I used the root user (- u). I did not enter a password (-p), but it prompted me for one. I named the database I wanted a script for. I directed the results into a.sql file mysqldump -u root -p classicmodels > c:\xampp\classicScript.sql 3

Prompted for password. Not much seen here since results directed to file. 4

Right click on the C:\ icon to access the menu. Mark (highlight), copy, and paste are under Edit. 5

In PHPMyAdmin, go to New on the left, enter a new database name and click Create 6

Select new datadase on the left, go to the Import tab, choose the sql script you made by clicking on Choose File. Scroll down and click Go. 7

Result of script. Tables created. Data inserted. 8
