Operation failed with exitcode 2

Answer 1

For Ubuntu users to save your time, mysqldump is in "mysql-community-client_5.7.26-1ubuntu16.04_i386.deb " package

Answer 2

You must use mysqldump 5.6.x to be able to dump mysql 5.6 database, because MySQL 5.6 discontinued and removed support for SET OPTION syntax.
Under 32/64bit Windows you must do:
1.1. (32bit win) Download Windows (x86, 32-bit), ZIP Archive 5.6.19 212.3M http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ (direct link http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file.php?id=452188)
1.2. (64bit win) Download Windows (x86, 64-bit), ZIP Archive 5.6.19 217.2M http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ (direct link http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/file.php?id=452189)
2. Extract mysqldump.exe from just downloaded file mysql-5.6.19-win32(64).zip (from /mysql-5.6.19-win32(64)/bin/mysqldump.exe)
3. Replace this just extracted file with your already installed mysqldump.exe file (instalation dir/mysql/bin/mysqldump.exe)

Answer 3

Using Windows 7, a far easier solution for me was to find mysqldump.exe from; C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqldump.exe

copy it and then replace the MySQL workbench mysqldump.exe which is located in the root of workbench C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench CE 5.2.47\mysqldump.exe

Restart MySQL workbench and all should work fine.

Answer 4

If you are using Window 10. Your Mysql server would have been installed in C:\Program Files\MySQL directory and rest all components are installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL. Go to MySql Workbench>Edit>Preferences. A window will open, click the Administrator tab and mention the path of your mysqldump.exe (which is present in C:\Program Files\MySQL). Restart your workbench.

Thanks, Happy coding!!
