I am working on exporting a table from my server DB which is about few thousand rows and the PHPMyadmin is unable to handle it.So I switched to the **command line option**  

But I am running into this error after executing the `mysqldump` command.The error is

`Couldn't execute 'SET OPTION SQL_QUOTE_SHOW_CREATE=1': You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'OPTION SQL_QUOTE_SHOW_CREATE=1' at line 1 (1064)`  

After doing some search on the same I found this as a [bug](http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=67507) in the mysql version 5.5 not supporting the `SET OPTION` command.  

I am running a EC2 instance with centos on it.My mysql version is `5.5.31`(from my phpinfo).

**I would like to know if there is a fix for this as it wont be possible to upgrade the entire database for this error**.  

Or if there is any other alternative to do a export or dump,please suggest.
