Lawrence, propel:data-dump and propel-build-all-load works great for a small database. Once your database reaches a certain size, this method is no longer feasible as you continue to get php out of memory errors.
With a php.ini max memory set to 128mb, Ive found I usually reach this limit when the database dump gets to around 10meg in size (you are talking an average ~20,000 rows across your tables, where a table might contain an average of 5/6 columns). Once you hit these size limitations, using slinky66's method seems the best way to go for me... (medium sized db's) and I guess once that gets too big (large sized db's - 1m rows+) then James Cauwelier's method seems like the way to go... Would be interested to hear how other big sites handle this...
