Dropbox & MySQL (Transfer DB via Copying Files)
Posted by: John Silver

1. I made a copy of database folder with (MySQL being shut down).
2. Then i dropped DB.
3. Then i copied backedup folder of DB (and restarted MySQL again).
4. In the end i can see my database and tables, but with no columns or data inside.

What am i doing wrong? Can db be transfered by coping its files?

This problem arose after ~3 months of using XAMPP on Dropbox, when one of tables failed to load its data.
