To move a MySQL 5.x database from one machine to another, follow these steps.

On the source machine, type this:

mysqldump -u root db_development > backup.sql 

After copying backup.sql to the destination machine, type this (assuming the database doesn't already exist there):

mysqladmin -u root -p create db_development
mysql -u root -D db_development < backup.sql
