a stupid question about backup and recover mysql database
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2005 7:24 am
I test to backup my database - download to my PC as a file (host does this), i.e. main.gz.
questions:
1. what does a gz file mean? is it just a compressed file? is it readable (undestood) by us? can I view TABLEs, FIELDs and data from the gz file?
2. how to recover my database from the main.gz file?
I am new to mysql database.
thanks
