Moving the database is childs play. I'm sure other tools allow you to do this, but when I recently started working with MySQL, I found PremiumSoft MySQL Studio (30 day trial, $78 to purchase) from http://www.mysqlstudio.com It is a pretty decent tool, and among other things includes a Backup/data transfer wizard that lets you very easily move a database from one server to another.
Add to that, I designed my first MySQL database on MySQL version 4 on my own Win2k box, and transferred it to verion 3.23.xx on a Linux server across the web (just make sure port 3306 is open on the target server).
