Let's say I remote from my workbrench to the database which is on server now for some reason I need to have copy of the database on my another computer as a local database. How can I do that?
Export it to a single file (whatever.sql), then import it by running the script on your local computer.
There's a "Data Export" link on the left side if you connect to the remote server using MySQL Workbench. Click on that and go through the export process. Then connect to your local server, click on "Data Import/Restore", and choose the file you just saved.
First export data from database, then import database or specific table import in local server.
$ mysqldump -u [uname] -p[pass] [dbname] > [backupfile.sql]
To dump all MySQL databases on the system, use the --all-databases shortcut:
$ mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > [backupfile.sql]
Source :How to Copy (Backup) a MySQL Database
In addition to a dump and restore you can try the MySQL Workbench migration module which allows to migrate from MySQL to MySQL (useful for instance to upgrade from a previous version or to copy a schema, as in your case).

I have mysql database in one pc but now i want to do my work on another pc.It is not possible for me to write sql queries once again because it is very time consuming.What should I do ?
**Exporting MySQL database from one pc to another pc**
Open linux terminal and type following commands to open mysql terminal
mysqldump -u "username" -p databaseName > "path where we have to .sql file for exporting" databaseName.sql
e.g. mysqldump -u root -p akashgudadhe.db > /Documents/sky/akashgudadhe.sql
it will export your mysql database to your Documents/sky directory.
**Importing MySQL database from one pc to another pc**
1.Open linux terminal and type following command to open mysql terminal
mysql -u "userName" -p //Enter password for your mysql username.
e.g mysql -u root -p //hit enter key.
it will open mysql terminal.
To import any database first we have to create blank database.
create database "databaseName"; //databaseName without " " quotes
use "databaseName";
for. e.g. create database akashgudadhe;
use akashgudadhe
Importing required databases from .sql file which we have to import in our mysql database.
source "directoryFor.sqlFolder" "databaseName.sql";
for e.g. source /Documents/akashgudadhe.sql
//databaseName.sql file is the file which we want to import in our mysql database
i have a .sql file that was exported from wamp, my friend only uses xampp. Is it possible to import my .sql file to xampp?
Yes because the .sql file is most likely independent of the server stack.
Of course it is possible, when wamp give you a export of .sql, this file can be used with all standard web server. (xampp)
I think this may help
Depending on the tool and parameters used to create the .sql dump file of multiple databases, the file will normally have
CREATE DATABASE DBn...;
and
USE DBn;
statements that will allow your import to proceed without hiccups. For example, both the mysqldump command mysqldump command and phpMyAdmin's Export function for multiple database insert them.
Assuming you have exported with a sensible tool like those above, then you can import the database with a command line like this:
mysql -u username -p < dumpfile.sql
Your mysql username account needs to have appropriate privileges to, for example, create databases.
You can even run this command in a more familiar way by naming the startingDB database to use before running the commands in dumpfile.sql:
mysql -u username -p startingDB < dumpfile.sql
I have a Joomla database that was dumped into a .txt file on an appache server using the command:-
mysqldump -u admin --opt -p passwd > private/alexthekiddb.txt
How do import that into a new MySQL database on my IIS server so I can attempt a conversion from Joomla to Wordpress.
I can use phpmyadmin or the MySQL builtin command line tool.
I already have a 2nd new database created with the same name and user (and PW) as the original.
Normally, just running mysql private/alexthekiddb.txt or mysql < private/alexthekiddb.txt should be enough. Hence, such dump files are usually suffixed .sql
Of course, you should have a MySQL server on the target machine (IIS thing).
I want to copy all the tables, fields, and data from my local server mysql to my hosting sites mysql. Is there a way to copy all the data? (It's only 26kb, very small)
In phpMyAdmin, just export a dump (using the export) tab and re-import it on the other server using the sql tab.
Make sure you compare the results, I have had phpMyAdmin screw up the import more than once.
If you have shell access to both servers, a combination of
mysqldump -u username -p databasename > dump.sql
and a
mysql -u username -p databasename < dump.sql
on the target server is the much more fast and reliable alternative in my experience.
Have a look at
Copying MySQL Databases to Another Machine
Copy MySQL database from one server to another remote server
Please follow the following steps:
Create the target database using MySQLAdmin or your preferred method. In this example, db2 is the target database, where the source database db1 will be copied.
Execute the following statement on a command line:
mysqldump -h [server] -u [user] -p[password] db1 | mysql -h [server]
-u [user] -p[password] db2
Note: There is NO space between -p and [password]
I copied this from Copy/duplicate database without using mysqldump.
It works fine. Please ensure that you are not inside mysql while running this command.
If you have the same version of mysql on both systems (or versions with compatible db file sytsem), you may just copy the data files directly. Usually files are kept in /var/lib/mysql/ on unix systems.
we've been making changes in the MySQL database, adding tables, columns and so forth and I have a development/staging site and production. All are MySQL, staging and production hosted remote.
How do I export the table structure and bring it into the production environment?
I have been using phpMyAdmin to administer it to date.
On local dev system:
$ mysqldump -u username -p databasename > export.sql
On remote system:
$ mysql -u username -p databasename
mysql> source pathto/export.sql
Check out mysqldump, a command line tool that comes with MySQL, here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html
Using it, you can take a snapshot of both the structure and the data of your database and import it elsewhere.
