Over enthusiatic installer of 4.1 makes mistake....
Ok - feeling a bit embarrassed and sheepish really In my rush to try out 4.1.7 I did the typical techie thing - I didn't bother RTFM before starting installing, other than the bit that says you have to uninstall earlier versions mySQL. So I've got 4.1.7 all up and running on my dev machine - great - but some moron forgot to make backups of all the databases on his machine before uninstalling! I've got all these folders with my databases in, but none of them available via my shiney new installation. Is there anyway to get the databases into the server? Its no great shakes if I can't recover them, being my dev machine, but would be nice if I can get them into the server. Any suggestions? TIA and regards from a very foolish feeling Stephen -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
