mysqldump?

Is there a way to use railway cli to execute a mysql dump? I tried railway run with the appropriate variables from the ui but I can't see the correct data. Without specifying a database, it dumps system tables, if I try to specify database "railway" (as the ui suggests) I get "table not found" errors.

flags are being merged with their values, thats just a formatting error right?

Shouldn't matter, (other than password flag)

railway run mysqldump mysql -h containers-us-west-67.railway.app -u root -p --port 5721 --protocol=TCP railway

railway run mysqldump mysql -h containers-us-west-67.railway.app -u root -p --port 5721 --protocol=TCP railway

railway run mysqldump mysql -h containers-us-west-67.railway.app -u root -p --port 5721 --protocol=TCP --databases railway

railway run mysqldump mysql -h containers-us-west-67.railway.app -u root -p --port 5721 --protocol=TCP --databases railway

also just dumps everything from database 'mysql' as below

mysqldump: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
-- MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 8.0.32, for Linux (x86_64)
--
-- Host: containers-us-west-67.railway.app    Database: mysql

Just FYI I ended up writing an export script instead. May need to revisit this as I cannot get a full db backup through sequelize now and kinda need mysqldump to work.
