Hi,
What is the benefit of the database dumps being archived/distributed in xml format instead of sql format? Converting the xml to sql takes a long time for big wiki's and people seem to have problems with this step, so why isn't the sql format available for download instead of the xml format?
cheers, Jamie
mwDumper is essential also for anyone wiling to replicate a wiki locally for
any purpose. There are alternatives such as xml2SQL or importDump.php but mwDumper is the most efficient in terms of correctness and completeness or speed sometimes.
