Hello again!
As described in other topics I have "inherited" a forum as all the others that were working on it seem to have given up on it. I have a MySQL db (5.0) and Snitz 3.4.05 running. I allow users to have small pictures in their signatures as well as in their profiles.
I understand that with the version of MySQL that I have archiving seems to be a no go. I would ask my host to upgrade to 5.1 but I cannot get in touch with them hardly at all it seems. I would like to start over with the forums and not only upgrade to .06 but clean out the db as well. I think that because I have had so much archiving troubles, many threads/replies there is a looooong query time and it is slow.
Is there a way that I can create another db and import only those tables I want? For example, I would create a fresh db but want to import the table with all of the members in it so that they don't have to register again. I realize that I would also have to reinstall my upgrades in this mess, but I can do that. I would eventually want to get rid of the "old" db. Would this be possible?
Thanks! |

ruirib,
This topic was another that I started in relation to archiving problems. I have MySQL 5.0 installed and you told me that:
quote:
"Frankly, using MySQL 5.0, the archiving will never work. So, if you want to update because of that... If there are other reasons, then go for it."
Being that I have the archiving difficulties, I am wondering what the best course of action may be. As I said, contacting my hosting company is very difficult for some reason. They even make IIS upgrades with no warning. I am not too happy with them, but it's not my call as I am not footing the bill for the space. I am just the forum admin.
Any ideas? |
