Are you using only MyISAM or InnoDB tables? With the InnoDB tables you have the possibility of data not yet being committed. Either way, unless you can flush, lock and perform the dump and transfer all in one swoop you risk incosistency using this method. -Original Message- From: Ben Rick

Sorry, the variable is actually "key_buffer_size" (I don't use MyISAM); I'm not sure what it defaults to, but the typical recommendation is 25% of your memory. You can tell if your cache is effective by looking at the key_reads and key_read_requests (from the MySQL window, type "SHOW STATUS" wi

Use the blob/text, mediumblob/mediumtext or longblob/longtext types. Since you are just storing text, use the text versions. It sounds like when you say "text" what you really mean is the varchar() type. If you declare a field as a text type, you can store 2^16 characters, or 65,536 characte
