It will be much easier to figure the database part out with wordpress installed and running. You can set it up for access only from the local machine, and then you can play around with the files as you like. Much easier to make progress when you have the thing in front of you, running. If you have, for example, other mysql/maria database stuff on the machine, you can set up wordpress to not conflict, with help from the people on the wordpress list.

Same, too heavy. Folks, I think, this is not an easy stuff! I am not experienced enough and I give up for now. Maybe I will take the other solution by using vim, and extract all my blogs from the sql-file manually, then put it into an html editor like bluegriffon, and then save all the blogs in a html file. Doing so, they can be trancoded into pdf or implemented into ODT. However, this is a lot of manual work, but not "brain killing" like this.

Start by actually reading the compressed backup, using zless. See whether it looks like an SQL dump. If it does, then you can proceed to the next steps. Install mariadb/mysql (whatever the server package is called, for your release of Debian).

Dear list, this is a little offtopic, but maybe you can make things a little bit clearer for me. I had had a webserver hosted by a provider, which is switched off since a year. From this server I got a backup of a sql database. The system that ran that time, was wordpress, and the database is called something like "bla_bla_wp2016018_911.sql.gz" On this website I wrote some blogs, which I want to have back. So my question: Are these blogs content in this database? And if yes, can I restore them without to setup a complete wordpress server with sql database? Is there an easy way or only a hard way?

Someone did some benchmarking awhile back with PostgreSQL, MySQL,
INFORMIX and Oracle. Not surprisingly, Oracle did the best overall. But
more of a surprise was that PostgreSQL was faster than MySQL in certain
join queries and overall got rated higher. Think PostgreSQL was faster
for inserts/updates too. Memories a little cloudy...
I would've like to seen Sybase ASE in the benchmark, since it's supposed
to be pretty fast.

I haven't worked with Oracle, but I suspect it is quite complex (given the fact that "Oracle DBA" is a valid job description nowadays, and the large number of Oracle consultants around). PostgreSQL is probably slightly more difficult to learn than MySQL, but it is truely free and supports many more SQL / relational database functionality (e.g. transactions).

Re: SQL Database performance
See http://www.tcx.se/benchmark.html for some interesting benchmarks comparing several common db systems including oracle, ms-sql, pgsql, and others. For a pretty comprehensive comparison of database system limitations and capabilities, see http://www.tcx.se/crash-me-choose.htmy I use MySQL for my work and am extremely happy with it. It is extrememly reliable and extremely fast. It is significantly faster than pgsql and in my experience, it is also much more reliable (I used pgsql before I switched to MySQL). MySQL doesn't support some of Oracle's features like transactions, views, etc, but since I don't need them, I can benefit from the much smaller and faster MySQL system. MySQL has no problems dealing with large sets of data and large BLOBS. I have one MySQL db that contains over 3.5GB of data. In that db, two of the tables are over 1.5GB (they contain mostly TIFF images). Performance is great even with those relatively large table sizes. -Kevin -- Kevin Cheek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Michigan, Department of Internal Medicine Divisions of Rheumatology and Molecular Medicine & Genetics Jeff Noxon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > On Thu, Nov 19, 1998 at 04:58:00PM +, Martin Oldfield wrote: > > Does anyone have a feel for the relative performance of the various > > SQL databases in Debian ?
