How to see mysql database dump operation completion percentage on Ubuntu 12.04?

Question

MySQL

Hello.
Now I'm dumping in this way:

mysqldump -u username-p db | gzip > /bla/bla/bla/db.sql.gz

But the downside is that I don't see the percentage of completion and can't understand what's going on (the size of the database is large, so I would like to see it in order to calculate my actions).
Please tell me if there is an additional parameter or another function that will display this.

Answer 1

mysqldump -u username-p db | pv | gzip > /bla/bla/bla/db.sql.gz
