Database Size, suggestions on Dev > Staging > Production Our Drupal 6 Database is currently 75mb and the site has not even been launched yet. This is making it a bit difficult to export/import between our Dev/Staging/Prod as it is taking some time. I am concerned that in the future the database will become increasingly difficult to the point where it times out.

So how big are some of your Drupal Databases? 

I have been exporting the entire database after clearing cache. Is there a simpler way, for example should I only export certain rows ? - leaving all the Cache tables?
Use backup and migrate module. 

http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate

It has an advanced backup options page, where you can choose tables and data to exclude.
