Well I know this is right up the linux alley so I might as well ask.
Here is the situation, a forum I frequent is going to move to a new server and a probably new system.
They are currently dealing with a VERY outdated free version of invision power boards and the new forum will most likely be based on vbullitin or possibly simplemachines.
the problem is that we are dealing with a database that is a great 50 megs in text, the webmaster doesnt want to lose anything so I want to see if there is something that can help transfer the database.
Its a wide load but I have seen it done, so any advice on how to do it is appreciated.
