hi If the database is not too much data you can export using phpMyAdmin and select 'complete inserts' which generates complete queries.
you could also do INSERT INTO db_2.tablename SELECT * FROM db_1.tablename if both databases are on the same server. There may be better answers, but these two are simple :) Peter ----------------------------------------------- Excellence in internet and open source software ----------------------------------------------- Sunmaia www.sunmaia.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel. 0121-242-1473 ----------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 05 July 2002 18:26 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL test database creation... > > > Hey guys...
