How to copy databases between computers? Just send a circle and forget about the rest of the owl.
As others have mentioned an incremental rsync would be much faster, but what bothers me the most is that he claims that sending SQL statements is faster than sending database and COMPLETELY omiting the fact that you have to execute these statements. And then run /optimize/. And then run /vacuum/.
Currently I have scenario in which I have to "incrementally rebuild *" a database from CSV files. While in my particular case recreating the database from scratch is more optimal - despite heavy optimization it still takes half an hour just to run batch inserts on an empty database in memory, creating indexes, etc.
