Slightly OT: Switching mySQL from win to Mac OSX

[tkuypers at pandora.be]

Hi gang,

I am developing a frontend in RR to automatically create catalogs in
InDesign, using data in mySQL running on my PC.
But now the client wants to use a Mac running OSX to run the database as
well.

On Windows it¹s very easy to copy the tables from one server to another one,
but how does one do that on a Mac?
The location of the databases seem to be in Library/mySQL/Var/ but this
directory is locked...

Anyone any suggestions?

Regards & many thanks in advance,
