Default Re: OT: MySQL Databases

Is this a table dump or just the physical data files fromt he mysql\data directory?

If it's a dump you can just put the insert and create statements in a phpmyadmin and off you go.

If it's the physical files you can TRY to ftp them to the mysql/data directory on the new box and it MIGHT work. Before I knew about mysqldump I used to transfer mysql databases that way and it has worked in the past BYMMV.
