I'm using the basic mysqldump for dumping and mysql syntax for importing.
Moving from a Linux Mint LMDE server to an Ubuntu Enterprise server.
pretty vanilla stuff. The database is too big for phpmyadmin to do
either & it's just too slow. Also tried BigDump but that did not perform
either. Mostly figure I need to beef up mysql timing & tuning & have no
experience doing that.

the database software?
mysql or mariadb?

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!
