Dear Steve,
> (eg adding "drop table columns_priv; before the CREATE TABLE
columns_priv;
You can use various options for mysqldump, like --add-drop-table. This
will add a drop table statement :)
Anyway, it's always a good idea to re-create tables and their data. One
reason: By default, mysqldump will add TYPE=MyISAM to every create table
statement, so old ISAM tables will be set up with the new (and better)
MyISAM format. Another reason: Tables will automatically be in
"optimized" state.
Regards,
