How to get sql dump using command prompt in WAMP 0

To get a mysql dump of a database in wamp, first we need to set our mysql path using set path command. The example is given below.
  

set path=c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.36\bin

Replace c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.36\bin with your mysql bin directory path.

Then use the below command to export our database.
 
mysqldump -u YourUserName -p YourDatabaseName > sqlDumpFileName.sql

YourUserName will be our mysql username. And YourDatabaseName will be our DataBase name. Then command prompt will ask for the mysql password. Your should enter your mysql password to get your sql dump of your database.

Have any doubt, feel free to comment here!
