Re: No MySQL database listed in Source Database dropdown

Yes, I have a similar problem. This is listed in the manual as being an available source, but I cannot select it in the toolkit. I am wanting to migrate (copy, actually) a MySQL database between servers. I realize I can do this with copying files, except that copying from 4.1 to 4.0 or vice versa I believe does not immediately work properly? Also it requires a shutdown of the server to do safely, and appropriate shell/network file permissions, so doing it through the toolkit is just easier. I can guarantee that there are no other users of the specific source and destination databases (but not of the server as a whole).

It has just floored me since the first alpha I've seen of this software what it cannot do MySQL to MySQL I need to do this task on a weekly, sometimes daily basis and I still have no good way of doing this.
