richrock Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi all, I've been developing a system to administrate the backend operations of a website, extending the functionality of an existing database. I'd like to run some tests from scratch, so I'd like to create an identical copy of the database, retaining the table structures and any default values, but with empty rows. How would I do this? I don't have much experience with mysql, though I can write basic commands and am reasonably familiar with phpmyadmin too. TIA Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Do you have PhpMyAdmin? Just click on your database and export it with no data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Or if you want to copy the database to the same server, click on the DB>>operations>>copy database (make sure you select Structure only) and copy it with a new name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
