mysqldump

Hi folks,

I need to do a mysqldump of a database on a remote server, but the server does not have mysqldump installed. I would like to use the mysqldump on my machine to connect to the remote database and do the dump on my machine.

I have tried to create an ssh tunnel and then do the dump, but this does not seem to work. I tried:

ssh -f -L3310:remote.server:3306 [email protected] -N

The tunnel is created with success. If I do

telnet localhost 3310

I get some blurb which shows the correct server mysql version. However, doing the following seems to try to connect locally

mysqldump -P 3310 -h localhost -u mysql_user -p database_name table_name

Can someone assist me?

Thanks,

Mauritz
