Copy tables in database to other database?
-
Okay, my end goal is to upgrade from WP 0.72 to 1.01
Things went wrong, so I deleted everything, including the old files.
I have backups of everything, I have a database backup, and I also have an exported database that I’m able to import again.
Now, I think the best thing to do is install WP1.01, in fact, I already got that going too.
But I want my OLD entries in there as well.
My idea was:
-create a new database for the new WP
-import tables that contain content to new WP
-changes names in config.php to make it work.
But I can’t figure out how to get my old tables into the new database. There is no such thing as “copy table” in phpmysql, and when I search for an answer online, I only find chunks of mysql code that I don’t understand. I only know how to use phpmysql to export and import.
Is there another way I can get my old entries in new WP? The table names are all different, upgrade doesn’t work, and if I let the new install overwrite I get all kinds of errors (I tried that) so the only thing that works is make a brand new database for the new installation. Now I just need my old tables in there, maybe only a few of them.
Help?
