Answer 1

To get the above script to work, I made the following changes:

1. run it with #!/bin/bash
2. add two seds to the list of pipelined seds:
   • sed 's/\\r\\n/\\n/g'
   • sed 's/\\"/"/g'
3. the 'rm tmp' line is a no-op (unless you have a file named 'tmp' lying around :O )

4. my mysqldump command looked like this:

   $ mysqldump -u usernmae -h host --compatible=ansi --skip-opt -p database_name > dump_file

Then it worked nicely... thanks for the script.
