Hi!
When i make a db backup with the shell:
mysqldump --opt -uusername -ppassword -hyourMySQLHostname dbname > output.sql
I get one output.sql file of 25 Megas
But if i make the same backup with phpmyadmin, then I get a file of 55 Megas.
Why?
What's wrong?
I made the 2 backups with this instructions:
