  • password in --defaults-extra-file

    #1
    I want to put the backup password in a defaults extra file, but I do not know the syntax for doing this. What do I use as the delimiter.

    [WHAT IS THE DELIMITER]
    password=password

    Can someone tell me the syntax?

    Hi,

    If you want to put backup user/pass in default extra file you can do like
    [client]
    user=user
    password=password

    FYI: For Innobackupex, defaults-file should have client section with above details and mysqld section with datadir option. i.e

    [client]
    user=user
    password=password

    [mysqld]
    datadir=/var/lib/mysql

      niljoshi is correct - but I believe you may have extended or reserved characters in your password. If this is the case, use single quotes to delimit the password.

      [client]
      password='p@ssw0rd!'

      I hope this helps . . .

      /David C.
