Important MySQL Safety Tip

When using mysqldump, be sure to remember this line from the help: "Note that if you run mysqldump without --quick or --opt, mysqldump will load the whole result set into memory before dumping the result. This will probably be a problem if you are dumping a big database." This is especially important when dumping a 2+GB table. Ooops.
