Various of ways... I think that it is possible to do by using phpMyAdmin (only needed at your own computer). Not tested, but should work.

You can also use a 3rd part software, as http://www.mysqlfront.de/ .

And the really basic suggestion is to export/dump the table structure's and data to a cvs-file or similiar, then use that to import the same into the other database.

Hope that helps some.

IF u are using mysql, there is third party toll called mysql front, u can download that, there is some option like export tables in that, u can export the tables to where ever u want, and then import it in u r friends place. All u have to do is create a databse name and import the tables to that database.
