Its the same program, just Improved :-) People hate things they do not understand. You're probably right, and if I had memorized all the commands to be able to edit text, and had gotten used to it, I may like it. I've just gotten used to free-format editing w/o having to enter any commands

I'm trying to determine the best way to back up my MySQL databases in such a way that they can be easily restored, flexible, and complete. I've experimented with physically copying the files (with disastrous results). MySQLDump seems to be the way to go, but I've got two problems with that

2) sometimes, I like to copy just a single table or so out of the backup file, and restore just that. You might want to try out MySQL Administrator which can often be used to restore backups from mysqldump. It can _selectively_ restore tables from a backup file.
