Hello,
I’m sure that many of you, at some point when you we’re trying to backup your MySQL database, have encountered this error: mysqldump: Got error: 1146: Table ‘…’ doesn’t exist when using LOCK TABLES.
Here is a quick-fix for this problem:
mysqldump -uusername -ppassword database_name–skip-lock-tables >backup-database_name.sql
Don’t forget to replace the bold text from the above command.
thanks, excellent idea to use switches – I used
mysqldump -uusername -ppassword database_name –force >backup-database_name.sql
as skip-lock-tables did not work for me. However the force statement did it as well.
