After you migrate your database to the new server, just change your DSN.
That varies by database, but will look something like:
dbi:mysql:database=yourdbname;host=db.host.name
Your DSN is probably set in catalog.cfg or products/variable.txt.
You'll need to restart Interchange. It's probably a good idea to change
your password on the old database or turn off the MySQL server altogether
if you can, to make certain you're not accidentally still connecting to
it.
