  Re: MySQL database transfer to another server - how?

Hi

If you have command line access you can also compress the data before it hits the disk. Most mysql tables compress well, especially if you have a lot of strings in them.

eg

mysqldump --quick --opt -u user -ppass dbname | gzip > filepath.sql.gz

This also speeds up the process considerably
