How to Export/Save MySQL using Phpmyadmin

How do I export and import a mysql db using PHPMyAdmin?
Step 1:

Open phpMyAdmin and select the database from where you want to export data and/or structure. Go to the tab with "Export". Select the table(s) you want to save. Select the option you need: Data only or data and structure or structure only:


--> if you only want to update a table on another server, which has a table with the same structure, then you choose data only


--> if you want to create a new table on another server (for instance, if you have a development environment and you now want to put your application in production) then choose structure only


--> if you are moving a complete table, choose data and structure


Select "save as file"


Hit "go"


You can now enter a filename and specify where the file needs to be saved. It's recommended to choose a meaningful filename that includes the date. Like "shop_05_07_03.sql"


This creates the dumpfile. The dumpfile can be viewed using text editor
