Unexpected argument

[Larz60+]

It is a straight forward procedure in any relational database management system that I have worked with to unload a complete schema to external files.

I don't know how to do this in MySQL, here's how it's done in sqlite3, MySql will have some sort of dump program
The database is one of mine:

sqlite3 StockMktDb
sqlite>
sqlite> .output StockMktDb.sql
sqlite> .dump
sqlite> .quit

partial results:

Output:
PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
CREATE TABLE ASXListed ( CompanyName VARCHAR, AsxSymbol VARCHAR, GicsIndustryGroup VARCHAR);
INSERT INTO "ASXListed" VALUES('Company name','ASX code','GICS industry group');
INSERT INTO "ASXListed" VALUES('MOQ LIMITED','MOQ','Software & Services');
INSERT INTO "ASXListed" VALUES('1-PAGE LIMITED','1PG','Software & Services');
INSERT INTO "ASXListed" VALUES('1300 SMILES LIMITED','ONT','Health Care Equipment & Services');
INSERT INTO "ASXListed" VALUES('1ST AVAILABLE LTD','1ST','Health Care Equipment & Services');
INSERT INTO "ASXListed" VALUES('333D LIMITED','T3D','Food, Beverage & Tobacco');

However, that aside, once a database has been dumped to .sql files, it's

a simple procedure to reload in sqlite3.

sqlite3 newdb
sqlite> .read StockMktDb.sql

That's all there is to it
