The easiest way is simply to copy the files. Go to the directory that mysql was installed to. There should be a subdirectory called data. Under that should be a subdirectory named after your database. You can simply copy that entire subdirectory to a mysql server and the database will be copied over. Want to change the name of the database? Change the name of the subdirectory.
