Note, though, that you won't be able to insert 0.18 data directly into a 
0.19 database.  So, your best bet is to backup your 0.18 data, install 
0.19 on the 0.18 machine, run any myth program (mythtv-setup, 
mythbackend, mythfrontend) to upgrade the database, shut down the myth 
program, make a 0.19 backup, and follow the instructions to put that 
0.19 data into the new machine.

Note that Myth automatically upgrades your database (in place) when you 
go to a new version, so depending on whether you're actually moving the 
database or not, this may all be unnecessary.
