mysqldump -u [user] --password='**********' --single-transaction -B [database] > backupfile.sql # Backup
and manually edit the lines in backupfile.sql
CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ [database]
USE DATABASE [database]

mysql -u [user] -p [database] < backupfile.sql # RestoreIn the LocalSettings.php file, the global
$wgDBname = "od";may need to be changed to point to the new database. Privileges may also need to be set in the db table in the mysql permissions database.
