There are a few different ways on how you can do this. You can right click the existing database and say export data, and just copy the database over to the new host. I found this to be quite troublesome though. I would just ask the existing host to place a database backup file into your web root or so, so you can download it. Then upload it to the new site and ask them to restore it.
Some hosts, give you the option to backup and restore your database via their Control Panel.
