New cart with database need to move some files from old data base (version 1.38)

I originally had a store on ZenCart version 1.38 on a different server. I uploaded the data base to my new server with existing customers and product data. I upgraded it to 1.39 and then to 1.5 everything seems to be working right. The problem is that the store owner has added new products to the old store Version 1.38. Is there a way of exporting that info and moving to the new database. the prefixes should be the same zen_. Any thoughts from anyone.

Re: New cart with database need to move some files from old data base (version 1.38)

So, you had a site running v1.3.8.
Then you moved that to a new server, and upgraded to 1.5

Which server is "live"? If the "new" server is the real one, then it shouldn't have been possible for anyone to reach the old server via the normal store URL.

Or is the "old" server still the real "live" one? If that's the case, take a backup, import the backup to the new server. This will wipe ALL the data from the new server. Then you can run zc_install to upgrade the database. Then you can reconfigure all your new settings again. And be sure to put the old server into Down For Maintenance (Admin->Configuration->Website Maintenance) and delete it after resetting DNS to point to the new server.
