I have to move a mediawiki site that has a database of approx 4.1GB. It is somthing I have done before and I usually just use the command line syntax to do it. However I have tried 3 times to export it and the files are always either incomplete due to server (Mysql) disconnect. I finally did get one that seemed to complete OK but then I tried several times to import it into the new server and likewise got server disconnect errors. I am aware that there are a multitude of possibilities, so what I'm asking here is for any tips on moving databases of this size or larger. I'm beginning to wonder if Mysql is the way to go here. Thanks!
