Thanks, i wondered while i was in bed do i really need to create a smaller version of the database on the development server before i upload or would it be better to just dump remotely from the live server. i want the upload to be smooth to reduce any downtime when i do the upload. So i came up with this (ignore the drop database i will change it when i reverse engineer your script)

Code:
# I'll alter this once i understand your script.

mysqladmin -u root --password='mypassword' --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock drop DATABASE_TEMP
mysqladmin -u root --password='mypassword' --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock create DATABASE_TEMP

# Dump a smaller version of the database with compression

mysqldump -u MOVE1 --password='mypassword' -h '107.701.107.701' --opt --compress DATABASE TABLE1 TABLE2 TABLE3 | mysql --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock -u root --password='mypassword' DATABASE_TEMP
echo "temporary database successfully created"

# copy contents of temp database to the live version. Happens quickly and reduces downtime
for table in TABLE1 TABLE2 TABLE3
do
echo "moving data from $table"
mysql --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock -u root --password='mypassword' <<QUERY_INPUT
use DATABASE;
TRUNCATE TABLE $table;
INSERT INTO DATABASE.$table SELECT * FROM DATABASE_TEMP.$table;
QUERY_INPUT
done

If you see i added the tables to the dump like suggested. I will try to remove the dropping database from root now

Ok i get what your script does and have altered my script to drop the tables i want to drop rather than using show tables and dropping them all

Code:
tbl_names='TABLE1 TABLE2 TABLE3 TABLE4 TABLE5'

echo "dropping tables from temp database"
for table in $tbl_names
do
mysql --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock -u LOCAL_DROP --password='mypassword' <<QUERY_INPUT
use DATABASE_TEMP;
DROP TABLE $table;
QUERY_INPUT
done

mysqldump -u MOVE1 --password='mypassword' -h '107.701.107.701' --opt --compress DATABASE $tbl_names | mysql --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock -u root --password='mypassword' DATABASE_TEMP
echo "temporary database successfully created"

# copy contents of temp database to the live version. Happens quickly and reduces downtime
for table in $tbl_names
do
echo "moving data from $table"
mysql --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock -u root --password='mypassword' <<QUERY_INPUT
use DATABASE;
TRUNCATE TABLE $table;
INSERT INTO DATABASE.$table SELECT * FROM DATABASE_TEMP.$table;
QUERY_INPUT
done

Does that seem alright?
