Hi All ... 1- I can now make a back up for db from mysql server to my localhost. The backup that I have done gave me .sql file, I used this : mysqldump -h (server host) -u user --password=(password) --opt db_name > c:\Backups\bkp.sql but I find it difficult when any lost of data occures, to create the tables from the begining and insert inside them the values and data, I know everything is there in the sql file, but isn't there a way for restoring db ? I wish u tell me a way. 2- How can I migrate db from mysql server into Microsoft SQL Server 7 ? is there any kind of communication between both that without any hard work, can migrate db from mysql to mssql7 ? or I have to build them from the begining again ? I wish I can find a way. 3- About phpMyAdmin, I have downloaded it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin but I don't know, it is not working when I put in the browser : www.serverhostname.com/installation_dir/index.php3 I have extracted the zip file, and my server is a unix server, extracted it to phpmyadmin directory, and changed the config_cgi file by changing server1 value instead of localhost into my server host name, and put the username and password I log to the server by, and then run the browser: www.serverhostname.com/installation_dir/index.php3 but it doesn't work, No Page to Display. If anybody knows how to make it work, I wish give me a hand ... Thanks in Advance... Yours: Hanan M.
