JTapp Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm having to change host providers and I've got a database that was created by an ex-employee. The entire company uses back-end online forms in this database for administrative purposes. As it stands I can somewhat figure out what was created and how it works. However, I'm wondering if anybody can offer some advice or words of caution as I embark on changing host providers and moving all of my files over. I guess I have to do everything in MyPhpAdmin from scratch? There is no simple xfer process, correct?

wildteen88 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You can export your existing database table structure and data by using phpMyAdmins export feature (open a database in phpMyAmdin and click the Export tab). Using this feature will allow you to download an .sql file to your computer. To transfer your database, login to PMA on your new host, and create a new empty database then click the Import tab. Follow the Import instructions. After phpMyAdmin will rebuild your database structure and populate your database.
