I have a MySQL database that I created on Fedora Core 6 on an Intel-based PC. I am in the process of installing Fedora Core 6 on a Mac G4 (ppc). For the time being I am unable to do any kind of an "export" from the old machine and "import" to the new ... I could re-create the hardware to allow me to do that but not for a few weeks at best. Should I be able to just copy the database over to the Mac and have it Just Work? Or are there issues (perhaps issues of endianness) that prevent a database created on an i386 from working on a ppc? Thanks... |
