Fw: Neophyte question...
Please help? A friend sent me a mySQL database -- which I can see when I execute the command show databases -- however I cannot see any of the tables in the db. The DB has several subdirectories (including one called mySQL) -- and does not look like the test db or mySQL db directories. I simply installed from the Windows setup.exe and copied the new database to the \mySQL\data directory where my server is located. Sorry for such a basic question -- but what am I missing? Cheers!

RE: Neophyte question...
Sounds to me like the database was possibly created on a different architecture, so the DB files are incompatible. Only way /I/ know of (Warning: I Am Not A MySQL Guru) to transfer the DBs reliably is to dump the DB to a flat text file on one platform, and then import it back into MySQL on the other platform. -Original Message- From: Yahoo Mail [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 11:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: Neophyte question...

Re: Neophyte question...
I will check that -- now that you mention it I think the files were created and run on a UNIX platform and I am on Win32. Thanks for the quick reply!
