Why can't I dump the database?

Question

MySQL

So far, I'm just learning mysql, I got to the backup and stuck ... In general, even just displaying all the information on the command line does not work. First I enter: mysqldump -u пользователь -pпароль БАЗА ДАННЫХ nothing happens, then I try a semicolon - it writes the wrong syntax. I read something that maybe the default path is not set, I was looking for solutions, but still to no avail. Worth MariaDB. Thank you very much in advance.

Answer 1

mysqldump -u пользователь -pпароль БАЗА ДАННЫХ > dump.sql

Answer 2

mysqldump is a system program, not a sql command. enter it in bash in the terminal, not in the mysql session.
