Hi everyone, Here is a rookie question.
The problem what I found is that mysqldump and phpmyadmin generate different size of backup file against same database. I try to dump same database with the 2 different methods, the original database is 2.8mb, phpmyadmin export 1.5mb file, and mysqldump export only 941kb file. I know there must be some difference between the two export method, but after I import the 941kb file which mysqldump created into a new database, it just works fine. So I'm not sure if I can use mysqldump as the best option to do mysql backup, can someone can help me to figure out why phpmyadmin would generate twice big file? And I see some post that address it is not recommend to import mysqldump file by using phpmyadmin, because it will cause problem. Thanks and best regards Wang
