    Default Database import - not going to plan 1.27-1.32

    Hi

    I have installed zen 1.32 (in a test area) - & created a database

    I now want to import my db from 1.27 into this database.

    I have backed up the database as a gzipped file then I went to php admin for my new 1.32 version database and then imported the gzipped file - however I keep getting errors the


    -- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
    -- version 2.6.4-pl3
    -- http://www.phpmyadmin.net
    --
    -- Host: localhost:3306
    -- Generation Time: Aug 22, 2006 at 09:52 AM
    -- Server version: 4.1.19
    -- PHP Version: 5.0.5
    --
    -- Database: `vine_zen`
    --
    CREATE DATABASE `vine_zen` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci

    the database I am inprting into is called organic

    I am a designer and just need pointed in the right direction - do I need to take out the following lines before importing

    -- Database: `vine_zen`
    --
    CREATE DATABASE `vine_zen` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci

    ?

    Thanks have looked through the faqs and have followed the upgrade instructions - but I am lost at the bit which says

    Restore your database from the backup in step #1 earlier into your NEW database just created.


    I am trying to import - is that the same thing?

    You will need to add ## before any CREATE DATABASE or USE DATABASE lines in your backup file before importing.

    HI Dr Byte

    I removed those lines and managed to get it to import but then I had duplicate entries - as my 1.27 table had prefixes - I then open my sql file up removed all the pre fixes and reimported - got funny charachters appreaing (a's with wee hats) so I am just starting from scratch.

    I will create a new database install zen 1.32 - then import a prefix free 1.27 database table and remove the create database line

    Hopefully this will be ok?

    Thanks again for your quick response

    There's nothing wrong with continuing to work with prefixes.

    If you set up your 1.3 site to use the same prefix as your old site, it'll make life a lot easier.

    After you've got things upgraded, you can rename all your tables using a quick script. But for now, keep the prefix and you won't accidentally remove any incorrect content from your backup files.

    You might also re-backup your 1.2.7 database, but click on your actual database first to select it, then choose the Export option, which should naturally skip inserting those CREATE DATABASE and USE DATABASE statements.
    (You'll know you've got it right when the "File Name Template" next to the "Save As File" checkbox shows __DB__ instead of __SERVER__)
    This just makes it easier so you don't have to edit the SQL file at all.

    Thanks again - and apologies for the spelling.

    Fingers crossed all will go well this time.

    I just couldn't find anything which actually told me to make those changes to the sql file and not having a clue I followed the instructions quite literally.

    Hey people!

    Do you get your scandinavian characters working with upgrade?
    To me all the customer names, addresses, product names and descriptions get mixed with corrupted ä, ö, å, é, ü etc.
    I have tried different options to change the sql dump as utf8 (originally latin1) but nothing seems to help... there are thousands of products, hundreds of customers and I can't simply start changing the info letter by letter!

    Now ä = √§, ö = √∂, å = √•, so a complete mess with words.

    Anyway to get the database information fixed?
