synchronizing databases across two machines

I have a laptop and de开发者_开发知识库sktop development machine, I'm trying to always be in sync with both data in database and files.

I fixed my file issue by running unison scripts which works beautifully. My issue is my database now. Is there any graceful way to handle that or do I need to dump and reinsert every time i want to refresh updates? I'm using mysql server.

you have to use database replication .. check the Mysql Manual
