What is the path to mysql and mysqldump?

The paths to the MySQL command-line tools on Hawk Host servers are:

ToolPath
mysql/usr/bin/mysql
mysqldump/usr/bin/mysqldump

These paths are used when running database commands via SSH, such as importing or exporting databases:

Terminal window
# Import a database
/usr/bin/mysql -u dbuser -p dbname < backup.sql


# Export a database
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u dbuser -p dbname > backup.sql

Replace dbuser with your database username and dbname with your database name.
