I am having a very hard time doing a mysqldump. What is the syntax to do a mysqldump from a command prompt? (phpmyadmin has rendered me useless in the world of mysql commands).

I tried

Code: Select all

mysqldump databasename > C:\dbase.sql;
and it just dropped me down to another line with one of these:

Code: Select all

->
I am confused.
