I feel bad giving negative feedback, but I'm not sure the world needs a dedicated site to generating a simple command like this. I'm genuinely not trying to be elitist, but do users really have a need for this?

I suppose if you add support for every single feature you've superbly well documented in "The Ultimate Mysqldump Guide", which is indeed impressive, then perhaps.

But even then, I think users would likely prefer to use PHPMyAdmin or DBeaver etc, where real values can be selected?

Out of interest, what is your motivation for doing it? Are you planning to monetize/banner advertize it somehow?

this is kind of fun side project for me. as a developer, I do have the need to generate mysqldump statement now and then. most of time, I had to search on google.

thanks for your feedback and i am definitely going to add various options.

as for monetization, let's see, nothing particular in mind.

Thanks for your response, fwiw I mainly rely on my shell history :)
