one way to do that sort of database transfer between compatible mysql systems is to simply copy the raw database files onto the new machine without
going through any loading procedures of the program that uses the data. This is VERY quick if you have fast communications and a good way to get
running in a rush, but suffers from the problem of carrying over any corruption or noise from the original files. Also requires root access and
knowledge of organization of the MySQL system. |
