sql sourcing question
Hello, I had recently backed up my server's mysql database with a dump to 'one big file'. When I just re-compiled my server. I wanted to load the old sql dump into a fresh newly created database but I get nothing but errors stating that the table doesn't exist.
I was using this command: source peq081012.sql
Should there be some kind of switch to add after the file name to tell mysql to create the tables in the big sql file backup as it sources them or would I have to source blank tables for each table in the database and then source my backed up dump file?
Perhaps I should have specified that when I did the back up as part of the dump instructions?
Is there anyway to recover my lost data? I had made some cool custom vendors which I can redo but I would rather save the time if I can. Also I had a couple characters leveled up a bit with bots already made.
If you can advise me how to restore the dump file to a new database, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
