in reply to What's the best way to copy LOTS! of records between 2 mySQL servers?
mysqldump -u<username> -p<password> \
-h<remote_host> -c <databasename> | mysql \
-u<localuser> -p<localpassword> newdatabase
you may add --add-drop-table on the left side of the
pipe if the database tables already exists
locally and -C if you are on a slow connection
(uses a compressed protocol for data tranfer)
