I have a wordpress instance running on my localhost. In order to move this to another server, I'd like to export the contents of this database to an sql file. However, I don't have the permission to create new databases, I have an existing database in which I'd like to insert the tables and all the rows inside them. Is there a way to tell phpmyadmin to export the data in such a way that everything will be inserted into this new database? Or would it be better to just do a find/replace inside the sql file?
In fact, if you select the database in phpmyadmin, it shows all the tables contained. If you choose to export at that stage, it will export by default (actually depends on its version) all the tables structure and data without database creation. Additionally, it does give you the option of exporting only the data.

My task is move the particular set of data from db to another db both are mysql but ran in different instances, in that old db i used mappings(one-to-one and one-to-many). If it is possible to move the data like in this scenario?
how i move the particular set of data from one db to another in mysql
Have you tried exporting the data from the old database and import to the new one? As a visual tool, you can use MySQL Workbench for export/import.
I have a database which contains details about user information.The database contains 20 tables with users specific details.Every table contains user foreign key. I want to be able to backup specific user data from the database and restore the backup. Is it possible to restore the backup on a different database that has same tables. I am working on this but not able to find a documentation or article on this. If you could help me on this if doing this is possible. Thank you in advance
You need to write some SQL to export the data. You can use a number of techniques for example:
Gather data using views, stored procedures or a combination of both.
Export data using linked servers, import export or SSIS.
There is no backup and restore functionality for a subset if data.
(p.s. This is for SQL Server. You have three different database engines in your tags.)
is there any possibility to export only tables visible in one diagram to .sql file, not including whole DB structure?
For example I have two projects with very similar DB, but different in few tables and I want to keep structure of both in one .mwb file.
I know I can select tables to export, but I am trying to avoid selecting and deselecting that same tables over and over.
No, this is not possible. If you like you can file a feature request (http://bugs.mysql.com).
I have two database, each contain different tables
leave.sql and crm.sql
I want to transfer all my leave tables into the crm database
How should I do it?
If the other database has different tables then the leaves database then all you need to do is import the data into the crm database. Finally, make sure your leaves script is connected to the new crm database.
Two other methods:
On the mysql prompt, you can rename your tables - and effectively move them from one database to the other (if both are on the same filesystem):
From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/rename-table.html:
As long as two databases are on the same file system, you can use
RENAME TABLE to move a table from one database to another:
RENAME TABLE current_db.tbl_name TO other_db.tbl_name;
If you are using MyISAM tables, and you have root privileges, you can just do:
stop your mysql server
move your tables from the old database directory to the new one
start your mysql server
All those assuming the tables in your old database (the ones you want to move) have different names than the ones in your new database (the ones you want to keep). If that's not true, you'll also have to change the names.
I am using phpMyAdmin to create database tables and fields. I have 100's of tables in a single database. Now I need to make the same on few more servers.
I feel it's too hard to write SQL queries to create that database. Is there any reverse process to generate an SQL query file from phpMyAdmin or anyother tool? I want to create a database in a GUI, and I need the SQL query for my database. Is there any tool to generate it automatically?
If I understood you correctly, you want to export a database (with many tables) using phpMyAdmin, and then import it and use it on another server.
Yes. You can do that.
Select the database on the left-hand side in phpMyAdmin and then:
Export -> Select All Tables -> Adjust Options -> Go.
You are going to get <youdatabasename>.sql file, with all the table definitions inside. Then you can import it in another phpMyAdmin or other database handler.
You can use mysqldump to do this. Then --nodata switch should do what you want.
