Synchronize MySQL databases between Ubuntu and Windows

Solution 1:  Unify the folder data of XAMPP on Ubuntu and Windows. Both of the operating systems point to the same folder. See more details in the following post:

Solution 2:  Install a mini Linux distribution such as Slitaz, Alpine, etc.  that plays a role of a dedicated server. Of course, it will operate like a virtual server using VMWare or Oracle VirtualBox. After that, we set up MySQL server into this server. In the case of using SQL Server, Windows XP is a suitable choose. But we must face to the problem of copyright as well as license. See more details in the following link:

Solution 3: Run a portable XAMPP on USB or External HD. The problem is that how can we do the same version.
