Answer 1

This will not dump stored procedures, functions, views, triggers and so on.

Edit: You can dump procedures etc. this way too. Just use i.e. SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS; to get the list of procedures and then SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE for each procedure. The same thing for functions, views, triggers...

Don't forget SHOW CREATE DATABASE; either.
