Transfer a databse from dreamhost to godaddy?...

...I created a joomla site in dreamhost. I would like to transfer it over to godaddy. I have already installed joomla on godaddy but it is a blank site, to move all my content over I have to transfer my database? All I kow is that I have access to myadmin on dreamhost...but how do I get it from that database to godaddy? I found an export but had no idea what the settings were so I just clicked export and it gave me a myfile.sql.zip file...is this what I need?

"You're on the right track. It sounds like you were able to get into the phpmyadmin for Dreamhost - go back into there and try exporting again, but this time choose None for the compression type. (The radios near the bottom of the page.) You should be given a file called something.sql. Next you will need to find out how to set up a sql database on GoDaddy, and then get into the phpmyadmin for that guy. Then you go to the import tab, browse for the .sql file, and wala, your database content is moved."
