The mysqldump you use doesn't include the "create databease" so you'll need
to create the henrik DB on the new install. If you keep running it over and
over, it will keep inserting the same records over and over again and you'll
end up with duplicates. The thing to do is start with an empty db (call it
whatever you like) and run the restore just once.  This should give you a
nice clean backup restore to then do whatever you want with...

Thanks for the reply.

I started a mysql v3 on a new system with the old "backup" data directory
and type:

   mysqldump -p henrik > henrik.sql

This dumps the DB? To restore, I move henrik.sql to the current 4.0.14
server and type:

   mysql -p henrik < henrik.sql

except it complains the DB does not exists. I can create the DB in Mysql 4
and then restore (and it works), but it is not clear to me I will have
restored everything properly.

Sincerely,

   - Henrik

Hi,

If that backup uses the old ".ISD & .ISM" architecture then I would install
an old version of MySQL, copy these files into the data dir of that
installation and mysqldump them to a file ready for import into your new
MySQL v4 install.

I'm not aware of any scripts to just munge the old style data into the new
but I'm happy to be corrected on that!

Cheers,

Andrew

Copy of the data files :-(

Is the backup a mysqldump or a copy of the data files?

     Hello,
I have a backup of a mysql v3.0.18 DB. I need to extract one of the DB's
from that backup and place it into my current production v4.0.14 mysql DB.

Can this be done? How?

Sincerely,

   - Henrik
