Question

I have a Database in Local server named ’empData’ and i want that all the data from that database to be copied to another Database, which is in the another server(web server) with the name ’empDataBackup’.
I have tried this code mysql_query("INSERT INTO empData.backup_emp SELECT * FROM empData.emp");

But it did not work as both the databases are not in the same server…(as in our case one is in local and another is in web server)..
please help..

Answer 1

Dump your data out using mysqldump and then pipe that file into mysql to import the data somewhere else.

On server1:

mysqldump empData > empData.sql

On server2:

mysql < empData.sql

If you want to get fancy, you could use pipes and ssh to pipe the data directly from server1 to server2.
