Starting Over & resetting the database

[-brs.2-]

How does one dump what records are in a current database, wipe it out, and start anew?

I started setting a database up, and the configuration is incorrect. So now, I'm fumbling over incorrect settings stacked on top of incorrect settings. I just want to dump it, and start over with a empty database.

Suggestions welcomed.

I would go to http://phpmyadmin.powweb.com, log into your database, and just select (check box) all of the tables you want removed and then select "Drop" from the options at the bottom of the page.

If you want to keep the tables...and just delete all the rows in the table...then do the same with the drop box...but just inside the table.

Any suggestions as to how to back up the database??

[BerksWebGuy]

You can export your database...there are a few options (csv, sql export, etc).

There should also be backups in OPS (but don't depend on them).

It is best to make your own manual backup, but so far the ones made daily by powweb and displayed for download in ops have worked well for me. :)
