Question

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.

Answer 1

On local dev system:

$ mysqldump -u username -p databasename > export.sql

On remote system:

$ mysql -u username -p databasename

mysql> source pathto/export.sql
