Re: Export database from 64 bit and import in 32 bit

The data storage format is identical for 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

At worst, you will get a syntax error that can be fixed.

Rarely, datatypes change over time and/or something else changes. So, there are rare cases of dump + load troubles.

Example: Loading into 4.0 will probably croak because the dump probably says "ENGINE=..." but 4.0 only know the old term: "TYPE=...". And I think there is a mysqldump parameter to tell it to use the old syntax.

Probably nothing has ever changed _within_ the same major version (eg, 5.x.zz to 5.x.y).
