[Forum] Moving MySQL database

[Omicron99]

I have a small forum, v3.8, thats 30mbs. I installed VB4 in another directory with another database. Using PHPmyAdmin I made a backup of my v3.8 database and want it import it into the Vb4 database. I can use PhPmyAdmin since it's a very small forum.

My problem is that the V3.8 database tables start with "vb_" while the VB4 database does not, so it is not working. How do I get the backup database to overwrite the new one?

try dumping your website on a localhost and import there first, i believe you can add / remove prefixes via phpmyadmin.. (you could even remove these prefixes via notepad++)..

as for overwriting it... i would make a BACKUP FIRST.... then delete / DROP your current db and import again, altho i don't see why you do not just run the update script ?
