Exporting Percona Database

Exporting percona database is however a bit tricky way to make funcitonal. The usual-

mysqldump -u root -p [database] > database.sql

will stuck and shoot you many error. All you need is the add an extended parameters to execute the dump, and here it is:

mysqldump -u root -p [database] lock-for-backup > database.sql

And that should do the trick!
