Check the schema for 1.5 in maintenance/tables.sql of the new version
to see which tables are used. You don't need to move the objectcache
table. If you want, you can leave the *links tables behind and run the
maintenance scripts to rebuild them on the other end.
Be sure to manually create tables you don't move and take a full
backup, as always.

Hi there,
my webspace will getting low in near future and so i have to move my
wiki to another one. The files are not the problem, but the database is
with 160 MB "huge" (about 1900 articles) (yeah, i know, the real
wikipedia has a bit more ;)). Because, there was a few database changes
in the mediawiki (and i start with the 1.3.x Version) just a simple
question: What tables i dont have to move? This is my database for now:
archive 7,5 KB
blobs 1,0 KB
brokenlinks 66,0 KB
categorylinks 522,8 KB
cur 6,5 MB
hitcounter 0 Bytes

user 386,1 KB
user_groups 3,2 KB
user_newtalk 1,0 KB
user_rights 8,8 KB
validate 1,0 KB
watchlist 168,3 KB
Whats with objectcache and cur? Can i just create the table without any
content? Can i rebuild the searchindex on the new server, so that i dont
have to move this through my little 128 Kbit upstream Line?
Do i have to regard other thing for the move?
Some technical informations, if needed:
My old webspace is just webspace. No console login.
My new Server is a Linux vServer, with root access.
Thanks for help!
