+## copydb --- Create a copy of a database under a new name
+
+## Commentary:
+
+# Create a copy of the database specified as the first argument as a
+# new database named by the second argument. Making usage:
+
+#    copydb <from> <to>
+
+# This doesn't try to check for any existing information, it just
+# tries to create and copy. It is up to the user to make sure that
+# that can actually be done.
+
+# During execution it asks for the root password of MySQL so it can
+# create a new database. It will also ask for another user and its
+# password to load the database with, this may still be the same user,
+# but allows one to specify different users if necessary.
+
+## Code:
+
+echo -n 'Database root PW (for DB creation): '
+read -s ROOTPW
+echo
+
+echo -n 'Database user for new DB: '
+read DBUSER
+
+echo -n 'Database user PW for new DB: '
+read -s DBPASSW
+echo
+
+mysql -u root -p"$ROOTPW" -B <<EOF
+CREATE DATABASE \`$2\`;
+GRANT ALL ON \`$2\`.* to '$DBUSER'@'localhost';
+EOF
+
+mysqldump -u "$DBUSER" -p"$DBPASSW" "$1" \
+    | mysql -u "$DBUSER" -p"$DBPASSW" "$2" \
+|| mysql -u root -p"$ROOTPW" -B <<EOF
+DROP DATABASE \`$2\`;
+EOF
+
+unset ROOTPW
