Hello to all:
Any professional opinion on how to join 2 data bases ?
giving the following conditions :
1. Live forum is running old data base (9 months old)
2. Recovered data base (idling as it is not live) but relatively current (1-2 weeks old)
3. Threads/posts are being added to #1 above while #2 is lagging behind.
4. #1 VB version= 3.8.4
5. #2 VB version= 4.0
( I know I cannot role it back to 3.8)
The amazing part:
1. Reuploaded/installed 3.8.4 connected test forum to database #2
thus recovered all members/all post.
special thanks to Steve's heroic tech support.
2. The last table in the recovered data base (word)
was missing after importing the dump; It was added manually.
3. On the test forum: recovered data is live and does work with 3.8 !
Next?
A safe way to join both live forum & recovered
please have in mind the detailed conditions above;
& yes recovered cpanel shows 3.8.4; while tables got altered by 4.0
Regards
Bill
