MySQL add an old database to newly installed server

85 Views Asked by At

I uninstalled my old WAMP server and installed a new. I forgot to make a backup of the old database but the database is still there on the old installation directory. I read somewhere that it would be possible to just copy the folder containing the database to the new data directory. It worked to a part. I can connect to the database and show all tables. But if I want to access the tables e.g. do a select, it say's the table does not exist.

What can I do in this situation? Export is no longer an option for me as I no longer can access the database.
