HELP: transferring database files into another computer

    Date: 06/28/06 (MySQL Communtiy)    Keywords: mysql, browser, database, sql

    My friends (team-members) and I are working on a Final Year Project, and we have a problem with mySQL!

    My team member has a complete database of our project, but i'd like to copy her database into my laptop and work from there too.


    I've copied the folder 'fyp' (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\fyp) into the same directory in my laptop.

    The following happened:

    1. The database 'fyp' showed in mySQL query browser.

    2. 'could not fetch columns' error appeared under this database in mySQL query browser.


    3. Under "Catalogs" in mySQL administrator, the schemata 'fyp' is there, but it doesnt show its tables when i clicked on it.


    DID I MISS OUT ANY FILES? DO I HAVE TO COPY ANY OTHER FILES OTHER THAN THE DATABASE 'FYP' FOLDER?

    Kindly advise!

    Thanks!

    With love,
    the mySQL noob. =/
