I am also in a similar upgrade situation, but I was thinking that all we
need to do to TRANSFER a db is just zip up the db files *.MYD, *.MYI, and
*.frm? This method worked for me transporting my db's from one mysql server
to another. Is this an ok method of transfering db? Or are there some
flaws/risks/incorrectness involved as opposed to dumping?
Thanks,
-Jon

Hello!
RRK Hi,
RRK I'm currently runnig RH 6.2 and I'm considering upgrading to RH7.1
RRK I'm planning on whiping the HD's completely and start from scratch
RRK and then install the latest RPM's from MySQL's site.
RRK The question is what would be the best way to port my existing
RRK MySQL databases? do a data dump? or just copy the MySQL files?
RRK Thanx in advance for any advice on this.
You need to dump databases with 'mysqldump' command.
It's a safe way.
read about it in mysql documentation.
