I have read-only access to a remote MySQL database, which contains a very large table (hundreds of millions of lines).

To get faster access to that table, I want to copy it to my local database.

What is the best way to do this?

“SELECT INTO OUTFILE” doesn’t work, because I don’t have the required permissions on the remote database.

I tried to use Java to SELECT all rows FROM the remote table, save them to a local text file, then use LOAD DATA INFILE; however, the select broke with

“Exception in thread “main” java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space”.
