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!
The
https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/phpmyadmin-users list
would be more suited for this question, as this list is intended for
development discussions.
By "browsing to the external database" do you mean that you select a
.sql file?
Than the most likely problem is that the .sql file contains a statement
like ' Create database'.
If the zenCart software does this, then it probably defaults to a
database name which you would have to change somewhere.
