Assume DB1 tab1 tab2 ...
Do $mysqldump -u user DB1 > DB1.sql Remember if you have a password set for this user (which ideally should be) use the -p option. $mysql -u user -e "create database DB2" This line will create the new database $mysql -u root DB2 < DB1.sql This will put all your tables and data into DB2 In case it is DB1 on the target system - in that case you will need to follow the last two steps on the target system, having the DB1 file copied and using DB1 instead of DB2 in those two steps.
