RE: Backing up/Creating new database
The easiest way is simply to copy the files. Go to the directory that mysql was installed to. There should be a subdirectory called data. Under that should be a subdirectory named after your database. You can simply copy that entire subdirectory to a mysql server and the database will be copied over. Want to change the name of the database? Change the name of the subdirectory. -Rob -Original Message- From: PR [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 7:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Backing up/Creating new database Hi, I have database developed on my laptop.
