I'm new to phpMyAdmin and I'm wondering if someone can tell me how to import data to a specific database from an externally-configured SQL database. I've tried doing this by selecting the specific (empty) database that is already configured in phpMyAdmin for a ZenCart internet shopping software application and then requesting an import of data by browsing to the external database. However, when I do this, the software creates a separate database within phpMyAdmin, rather than importing data directly into the fields already assigned by the original php database. I'm sure there's a simple answer!
