transferring mysql db from windows to linux

[Chatterjee]

how hard is it to transfer a mysql db from windows to linux? do they follow the same formats? can i simply copy the db files that are in the windows folder into a linux folder and hope that they work?

any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it should work... you'll probably only need to change
the permissions and ownership/groups.
