Hi, I am new to the database world, so I wanted to get some facts straight. I have built an application which runs with MySQL. I want to distribute the application along with the data. The target computers would also have MySQL. I have observed that I can zip up the data directory under mySQL and then unzip it in the target computer and it works.
What I want to know is whether, this is the best and easiest way. (the other being to import/export to text files, XML etc.) or are they are chasms which I fail to see? thanks. ps: It would be great if you could cc your replies to this one prashantpaiAThotmailDOTcom --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
