oscommerce2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 I have noticed a number of the contributions require you to run an sql file using our favourite tool. I'm new to sql and don't really understand how it works. Has anyone got any good suggestions as to which tool i might use? Also how do you run the sql file? Many thanks,
♥Vger Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Normally people use phpMyAdmin to manage SQL queries. To run an sql file on your database you first need to access the database via phpMyAdmin. Then click on the SQL tab at the top of the page. Then use the Browse box to locate the .sql file on your computer. Then click 'Go' This uploads and runs that sql file into your database. Remember - BACKUP your database first! Vger
Avec Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Your host may already have MyPHPAdmin available, which is a really nice interface with SQL. It looks/seems intimidating at first, but MyPHPAdmin is very easy to use, and the instruction in the contribution have been dead-on for me.
