Re: Attach database to new Schema

[Peter Brawley]

There's no option to "attach" old db files, to an existing schema in a mysql installation.

On another machine, install the mysql version in which the files were created, stop it, import the files to the appropriate folder, restart the server, check that it is using the files correctly, export them with mysqldump without create-schema and create-db cmds, and import that script into the current installation as desired.
