Have you thought about using mysqldump piped to the local DB? For example: mysqldump -h server_name_or_ip -u username -ppassword db_name table1 [table2 ...] > mysql -u localuser -p db_name This is (I believe) shown in the on-line manual under mysqldump. It fulfills my needs. You could even set this up in cron (scheduled tasks).
