How to dump an MySQL/InnoDB database

Answer:

To do a point-in-time SQL dump of a InnoDB database, use the mysqldump command with the --single-transaction flag

# mysqldump --master-data=2 --single-transaction huge_db > backup.sql

The binlog position will be written in the backup.sql, which is very useful for database recovery if needed.
