none of the db files even changed in size

It is normal. As the database is managed by the DB server Mysql. Mysql stores the data in its own files. Once you have sourced, the db.sql is not used anymore (until you re-source)

do you have a finished file you can edit ?

no, the files used internally by the Db server are not human-editable. You can alter the content of the database with front-end tools, like mysql front ('think is the name) or a 3rd party manager like EQ Admin tool.
If you prefer, you can also dump the contents of your new database to a file. This will give you an updated db.sql (or any name you want to give it), that you can use again to source a new db. Be careful using this until you understand well of database server works. Until then, better use a user-friendly interface like the EQ Admin tool [/quote]
