Unfortunately, the hosting can't use mysqldump command.
phpMyAdmin includes this functionality. You may want to look into how they do this.

I have a Mysql database backup dump file (.sql), and I want to migrate this file directly into Oracle by using sqldeveloper. Will this work?
It won't work. If you do it manually from a dump, you would have to do a lot of data conversion, modify the create table code to work for oracle and so on. It would be a lot of work.
But if you have SQL Developer, it apparently has a process to do precisely that.

I hope that helps.
It cannot be realized in automatic mode, due to different basic syntax of Oracle and MySQL dump files. In addition, Orqcle uses its own RMAN utility for controlling backups and restoration.
A most viable solution is to write a script converting MySQL dump file into the format recognizable by Oracle. I guess these procedures can exist in Internet, available for (free?) downloading.
I wanna reinstall windows on my PC i wanna backup my Databases in MySQL. I have around 30 plus databases. is there an easy way to back up the content and restore it later ?
You can use mysqldump -A to do generate sql dumps for all databases.
Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html
Alternatively, you can also just copy the acutal data directory.
Edit: apologies for not being specific, as others have noted this will work only ISAM. For innodb, you'll need to backup using mysqldump or another utility such as phpMyAdmin.
Use mysqldump to create a database dump of each database. You can later easily recreate the databases from these dumps by running them through mysql. This would be the most generic answer, knowing nothing more of your set-up.
If your databases contains MyISAM tables, then you could just copy the files. Otherwise (using INNODB) this doesn't work.
I assum you don't have the binary log activated, you should use mysqldump.
Take a look at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/backup-methods.html
You could try with PHPMyADMIN if you don't feel confortable with mysqldump.
go to phpmyadmin and export all the database.. After installing wamp in ur new pc.. go to import and import the files you've exported previously..
Have you given the GUI tools a try?

Have a look at the "Backup" option in the MySQL Administrator. The "Restore" option might also be helpful after the backup is done. :-)
Allows you to backup a single db or all db's at once.
You can use SQLyog MySQL GUI to backup your database. It has scheduled backup(you can export data into a single file or as multiple files) and backup as SQL dump(The dump will contain SQL statements to create the table and/or populate the table) to take backup and can restore those .SQL files using Execute SQL script tool.
try the tool here.
What is the prefer way to generate mysql backup while application is running ?
I want to provide functionality to admin to take backup of database at the same time when other admin using the same application from other computer.
What is the prefer way to handling this scenario ?
Hopefully you can take backup using mysqldump utility without stopping the database. Mysqlworkbench application provides easier interface to do this. If you are looking for a more advanced option and worry about transaction you can set up a replicated server, so that you can take the stable backups without stopping the master server.
if you are working on a webserver with php support use phpMyAdmin or any mySQL Dumper
Welcome,
I'm looking for php class what allow me to backup MySQL (5.x) databases under PHP.
I test many from phpclasses but most all are written for mysql 4 and under mysql5, generate wrong code.
Class should allow me to dump my database into file.
easy restore that file.
generated file (.sql) should be compatible with phpmyadmin.
You will get better results using mysqldump as compared to phpMyAdmin's SQL Export especially when dealing with large databases and large strings of data
as #Dan mentioned, use exec() or shell_exec() to run the mysqldump command
MySQL has its own dump and import abilities. You can simply call use the mysqldump and mysql clients already installed on your server. If you want to wrap that functionality in a PHP script, build the commands as strings and use exec() or shell_exec() to run them on the system.
I dont have perl install on windows. I would like to copy the entire testdb to testdb on my linux VM. What is the easiest way to do that? I can run code on my windows machine to connect to both DB and do sql operations. I am using C#.NET so if i need to write code and its simple then i'm open to that.
Use mysqldump
If you use PHPMyAdmin it has an export feature which makes it very easy to transfer.
MYSQL WorkBench 5.2.22 will allow you to do this very easily.
