Transfer

Menu: Extras / Transfer


MySQL-Front transfers (copy) whole databases / tables to different server / database.

If you want to transfer a table you have to select the table in the left side. After this you have to select the destination database on the right.

To transfer a database please select it on the left - and select the destination session on the right.

It's also possible to transfer several tables at once by selecting the tables with Ctrl-Left-Click with the mouse.


Structure:

The data structure (objects) will be transferred.  

Data:
The data will be transferred.  


Existing Data:
Allows to update existing records. (Requires identical primary key definition for Source and Destination).  
 
Disable Keys:
Foreign key will be disabled while transfer. This could be needed to allow circular foreign keys.  
 
Lock Tables:
Tables will be locked while transfer is running. No other application can change a value in this time.  
 

Error Handling:
If the Error Handling will be ignored the data will be transfered by the LOAD DATA INFILE statement. This is the smallest SQL overhead - all data will be transfered with one single (bug big) database request.  
 
This does not allow a individual error handling.
