MySQL database migration can typically be achieved through several methods, including:

  1. Utilize MySQL’s built-in tools: MySQL provides tools like mysqldump and mysqlimport for exporting and importing databases. You can use mysqldump command to export a database to an SQL file, and then use mysqlimport command to import the SQL file into another MySQL database.
  2. Using phpMyAdmin: phpMyAdmin is a free web application that allows you to access and manage MySQL databases through a browser. You can use phpMyAdmin’s import and export features to migrate databases.
  3. Third-party tools: There are also some third-party tools available to assist you in migrating MySQL databases, such as Navicat for MySQL, MySQL Workbench, and others. These tools typically offer more features and options, making database migration more convenient.

Regardless of the method used, make sure to ensure the integrity of both the database structure and data during database migration, and verify the data after migration to ensure the process was successful.
