I would like to know whether a MySQL database can be copied from one machine to another using the mysqldump command instead of taking a snapshot by copying the data directory.

As a MySQL developer, you should be at least dimly aware that MySQL supports several database formats. Find out what each is good for and how you use them.

Once the schema is created, close the SQL Script window. You’re ready to create a table. Creating a table I’ve created a database called SERVERS, that will be listed in the SCHEMAS pane.
