I am not well versed in php and mysql and am finding Gizmo's tutorials invaluable. Thank you Gizmo!

I am in the process of moving to a new VPS and in doing so I have made a trial run at moving my database using Gizmo's command line instructions. So now I have an old version of my database sitting on the new server.

In Gizmo's tutorial on backing up, he mentions that "And to restore said backup, after you purge data out of the MySQL database:" - which I believe would mean that I now have to purge that old database version before I can install the current database.

How do I do that? Any suggestions? All help is appreciated!
