Just a quick question.

I am using Workbench to export a database stored on my hoting providers server, will the server experience any downtime whilst I am exporting the data?

The only reason I ask is because when I back up my local SQL database my server needs to be switched offline for it to work.

All comments will be much appreciated.

It is quite possible that workbench locks the database while exporting. You can check the MySQL documentation for more details.
