Hey All,
I'm asked to facilitate a regular copy of a database from our client to our DEV server.
The client insists they can FTP a database "DUMP" *not* a backup to us that contains all the data, schema and users.
Has anyone heard of this "DUMP" thing, I've always used backups for this purpose.
thanks for your consideration - jh

SQL dump is the same thing as a SQL Backup. Back in the old days (SQL 6.5) the command was DUMP instead of backup. A lot of people still call them dumps.

Maybe your client has an Oracle background. I remember "dump" terminology from my Oracle DBA days, too. The output of an Export is a .dmp or "dump" file.
