I have moved servers and need to replace my forum posts in my phpbb table. My host added my database with shh but missed out including the posts text. I would like to try and do this myself. The table has over 125,000 posts. I have copied just a couple of the first posts to see if I can do it. I can add the table using bigdump but no posts ? If I use the mysql import file option it times out. Here is my code: -- -- Table structure for table `phpbb_posts_text` -- DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `phpbb_posts_text`; CREATE TABLE `phpbb_posts_text` ( `post_id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `bbcode_uid` varchar(10) NOT NULL default '', `post_subject` varchar(60) default NULL, `post_text` text, PRIMARY KEY (`post_id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; -- -- Dumping data for table `phpbb_posts_text` -- INSERT INTO `phpbb_posts_text` (`post_id`, `bbcode_uid`, `post_subject`, `post_text`) VALUES (2, '83858f1cdc', 'hello welcome to your forum.', '[color=red:83858f1cdc]HI and welcome to the new message board.[/color:83858f1cdc]\r\nIf you have not joined up yet why not,this is the new message board for the new you in 2005.\r\nwhen you join up during january you will be entered in a draw to win cash prizes of up to £50.00\r\n\r\nabout me well I am the webmistress of http://www.wiki.com/\r\nI am the original bridget jones so you will find me posting most days on the forum.\r\n\r\nwe need mods to help in all Categories so send me an e-mail if you would like to be considered or leave a message for me in the chat section.\r\nOK its your turn so join up and introduce youself and lets get this forum rocking. :D'), (3, 'dd8f30805e', '', 'Hi, I think I am the second member, so great.

Bigdump will insert all the posts. What problem are you having? Is bigdump not working for you? If you need help, pm me, I can take a look. I've used bigdump many times to move very large databases.
