I need to move my MySQL databases to another machine.
The current machine the databases are on is running MySQL version 3.23. The new machine is running 4.0. The machines have the same floating point format. The databases are *very* large (several hundred tables, most around 4MB, a couple over 4GB), so using mysqldump will be rather hard on the machine. Can I copy the .frm, .MYI, and .MYD files for MyISAM tables between the two machines as described in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/upgrading-to-arch.html
or because it is a MySQL version upgrade as well, do I need to move the databases by using mysqldump.
Thanks Helen
