title: What will happen if I execute mysql <dbname> > filename.sql
body: <p>Just like the title, I was about to create a database dump but instead of running "mysqldump", I ran:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql &lt;dbname&gt; &gt; filename.sql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then I realized that I used the wrong command, so I CTRL+C to kill the process.
  Is there any concerns about this operation? Like will my database be erased or some severe things?</p>
