How to copy a table from one mysql database to another mysql database
I need to copy a table from one database to another. This will be a cronjob. Which one is the best way to do it? PHP script or Shell Script. The problem with PHP, both databases has different usernames and passwords so I can't do it like this.
CREATE TABLE db1.table1 SELECT * FROM db2.table1
I prefer a shell script to do this instead of PHP script.
Thanks
