try running

thanks for that answer, but that was not what I was looking for.

I would like to dump my database from within my application (a link in
the app “Save Database To File”), not from the commandline.
Or is there a possibility to invoke a commandline?

Yeah command line is probably an ok route:

dumped_db_as_string = mysqldump -uroot -ppassword db_name
