Great work Drawde! I'll check this out ASAP.

BTW, you got your slashes mixed up in the links you gave above.

dangerdan30: To back up/restore your old database, do the following:

Code:

Go to the mysql\bin directory from a command prompt window. 

Type mysqldump &lt;put your database name here> > somefilenameyoulike.SQL 

Example. If my database was named eq and the file I wanted it put in was eqbackup.sql - I would type: 

mysqldump eq > eqbackup.sql 

(note:check the file and make sure the contents are there and not some error text). 

To restore it, you would go into a mysql prompt. 
Drop your existing database with: drop database &lt;yourdatabasename>; 

Create the database again: create database &lt;yourdatabasename>; 

and then source the database with your file... 
use &lt;yourdatabasename>; 
source &lt;path to somenameyoulike.sql>somenameyoulike.sql
