    Hi,
    Can someone post the best settings to use when exporting ee db for server move using phpmyadmin?

    For example should I check the box ‘Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT statement’?

    Anything else I should be sure and do for the export of the ee db?

    I personally use the settings discussed in this Wiki entry.  You could argue for drop table/if not exists- but if I’m export/import, I’d personally rather manually check for table conflicts and drop manually.

    But that’s a good core setup for an EE export.
