Migrating Databases within Newer Versions of MySQL
I have three versions of MySQL installed on my Mac OSX. The problem first started when I upgraded to OSX Mavericks, but MySQL is running again after upgrading twice. I can't seem to find a solution on how to move the databases that are still located in MySQL version 5.6.10.
After each upgrade, I noticed that each upgrade cleans up the directories from the previous versions except for the directories containing the databases. For example:
/usr/local
/mysql-5.6.10-osx.7-x86_64
/mysql-5.6.16-osx.7-x86_64
/mysql-5.6.17-osx.7-x86_64
My existing databases are in the 5.6.10 folder. When I had version 5.6.16 running, I tried to copy an exisiting database folder from the 5.6.10 directory, but it wasn't recognized.
I tried the Data Migration feature on MySQL Workbench on 5.6.17, but it would appear that it only recognized anything from the previous version, 5.6.16.
I would appreciate any help on gaining access and/or migrating my existing databases from 5.6.10. Thanks!
Mike.
