I have two MySql databases running on different servers. I have no root access and only PHP + Mysql and MysqlAdmin. How can i take a dump of first database (which is about 1MB) and restore that dump on the second one? Actually, I'm doing a structure dump, but the outputed SQL text is very big!..I'm not able to paste it all in the second server's sql query textbox.
