Sorry for the noobish questions...this is my first delving into e-commerce and php and sql so am a bit nervous of cratering my whole website doing something dumb...(and yes it's all backed up).

don't worry about noob questions, we were all there at one time too. take your time, reup the files to their matching folders on your server and when you do/did the sql you should find it list near the bottom of the configuration list of items.
