If you're on a mac it comes with terminal. works fine. ssh to the server with the database, unless of course you are local to it.

mysqldump --opt -u root -p database > dumpfile.sql

Yes, opt is on by default on newer versions of MySQL but not on older versions. I use it anyway, just in case. Saves a lot of time later.
