[prog] mysqldump- is there a better way

[Nicki Handy]

Now that I solved that problem, I'm running into a problem where in the 
old database, the first auto_increment value for a column is 0 rather 
than 1 but the new database doesn't want to put a 0 in - it errors 
everytime that there's a duplicate value 1 b/c it's already put the 1 
in the first insert.

This leads me to believe that I might not be doing this right to begin 
with. Is there a better way to get one database from one server to 
another, which is an upgraded version of mysql? Is mysqldump too error 
prone.

Thanks
Nicki
