Sounds to me like the database was possibly created on a different
architecture, so the DB files are incompatible. Only way /I/ know of
(Warning: I Am Not A MySQL Guru) to transfer the DBs reliably is to dump
the DB to a flat text file on one platform, and then import it back into
MySQL on the other platform.

Please help?

A friend sent me a mySQL database -- which I can see when I execute the
command show databases -- however I cannot see any of the tables in the
db.

The DB has several subdirectories (including one called mySQL) -- and
does
not look like the test db or mySQL db directories.

I simply installed from the Windows setup.exe and copied the new
database to
the \mySQL\data directory where my server is located.  Sorry for such a
basic question -- but what am I missing?

Cheers!

MG
