dump of salesforce database
Hi,
I'm new to salesforce development. I'm trying to look at the data we have in salesforce and figure out how it is currently organized (the developer who set it up is no longer employed at my organization). I'd like to be able to access the database directly preferable through a command-line interface. Is there a way to do that? Any pointers or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shirley
The Data Loader may be what you're looking for. You can run it from your desktop and export the data to CSV files, or you can do some configuration and run in from the command line.
Data Loader Overview: link
It can be downloaded from Setup --> Administration Setup --> Data Management --> Data Loader
Alternately, you could download and install the Force.com Explorer ( Setup --> App Setup --> Develop --> Tools ) to view the schema and run some queries on the data.
HTH.

I understand that. What I need is, salesforce schema(including objects, field definitions. relationships, etc..). Not just data. Similar to mysql dump. Please help me.....
