Database and local install

[dragon5]

I'm running easyphp no problem thanks to the forum. I have a ? about the db. If I run a db backup file in phpadmin, will it overwrite the current db? (this is what i want to accomplish). Or what is the best way to replace the current (local)db with a backup db from the live site?

Thanks

export your live DB with phpmyadmin to sql format.

 

Drop you current local DB, run the query in the new DB on your loacl server (must have same name).
