On Server 1:
shell> mysqldump --databases db1 > dump.sql
Copy the dump file from Server 1 to Server 2.
On Server 2:
shell> mysql < dump.sql
Use of --databases with the
mysqldump command line causes the dump file
to include CREATE DATABASE and
USE statements that create the
database if it does exist and make it the default database for
the reloaded data.
Alternatively, you can omit
--databases from the
mysqldump command. Then you will need to
create the database on Server 2 (if necessary) and specify it
as the default database when you reload the dump file.
On Server 1:
shell> mysqldump db1 > dump.sql
On Server 2:
shell>mysqladmin create db1shell>mysql db1 < dump.sql
You can specify a different database name in this case, so
omitting --databases from
the mysqldump command enables you to dump
data from one database and load it into another.
