Mysql/DB question

[Velosity]

if you wish to drop a table just go into mysql and type this

MySql> use databasename;
Database Changed
MySql> drop table tablename;
Query OK, Yadda Yadda

If you wish to back up your database open up your command prompt (open start menue, go to run, open cmd) or open your MS-DOS prompt

then type this in

[Prompt]
C:\>cd c:\mysql\bin
C:\Mysql\Bin\> mysqldump databasename > filename.sql
[/Prompt]

That will put your database in a sql file

If you want just a specific table from your database dumped so you can do a drop table command type this

[Prompt]
C:\>cd c:\mysql\bin
C:\Mysql\Bin\> mysqldump databasename tablename > filename.sql
[/Prompt]

Hope that helps
