How to import 5.5 data files into new 5.7 install?
Hi
I was running a 5.5 installation on a machine where I am developing an application, using local databases, stored in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\data
It was playing up (only running a few queries before losing connection) so in my desperation I uninstalled MySQL and downloaded and installed the latest, 5.7.
The databases are still in the 5.5\data folder. What is the correct way to move the data into the new installation? Can I just copy the data? I', converned there may be format differences, or other issues.
TIA
Mark
