So, what are my options? Any quick one line solutions? Nothing I've read address the problem I'm facing.

You'll need to use the mysql command line tools, mysqldump and mysql.
Something like this:

mysqldump -u username -p --database yourdatabase > yourdatabase.sql

I don't have access to a command line. But, I've tried this using php script, but the host has safe_mode on, which limits such activity.

Normally if I don't need the entire DB (dev work) and can work w/ the last 100 records, I will end up doing something like:

That's a good idea. In this case, while I'm not touching the original database, my copy will be phased into the mix and thus needs to be complete.

If you are using MySQL 4.1 or greater, the default mysqldump settings should work well.

I didn't say, but the MySQL version is 3 something and I don't have command line.

HOWEVER, I did find a solution, which was to have the host upgrade to a newer version of phpMyAdmin. From there, I was able to transfer larger tables.

Thanks to all who replied. I shall keep your suggestions.

Cheers,

tedd
