Databases
You can import and export databases by means of PhpMyAdmin?.In addition, you can export a database from the command line with something like:
mysqldump -u mysqluser -p db > file.sql
And import it to a new server with a similar command in the new server (provided you ftp upload the file to your new server):
mysql -u mysqluser -p -f db < file.sql
where mysqluser stands for your mysql username,
- -p with no passwod will imply that the mysql server qill request you the password as hidden input in the next line after you hit enter in the command above
- -f indicates that you want to force the mysql to continue even if it finds that some mysql column already exists, etc.
- db stands for the database name
- file.sql stands for the sql filename.
