Migrate a WordPress database to another server using MariaDB

To migrate a WordPress database using MariaDB to another server, follow these steps:

Step 1: Backup the Existing Database

Export the Database: *

SSH into your current server or use a control panel with database access.

Use the mysqldump command to export the database:

    mysqldump -u your_username -p your_database_name > database_backup.sql

    
        
               

You will be prompted to enter your database password.

Compress the Backup (Optional): *

To save bandwidth, you can compress the backup file:

    gzip database_backup.sql
