On my older computer’s HDD, I have WAMP5 installed with MySQL and PHPMyAdmin. The data is in the folder. How do I get that data that is in three files? The data is at E:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\data\fbdb, I can see it.
I want to import the country table to the fbdb database, these are the files I have from it: country.MYD, country.frm and country.MYI
What do I do with these files to add to new database?
Assuming you’ve created an ‘fbdb’ database on the new computer, just copy the country.* files you’ve found into the ‘fbdb’ folder under your new machine’s MySQL data directory, and restart the MySQL server — as long as it’s the same version or newer as the MySQL server on which the table was created, this should be all you need to do, as the MySQL engine will automatically check, and if necessary update, the ‘country’ table from those files.
