    Just for the benefit of others... the tables it is refering to is in the SQL database... the .sql file is simply a text file with a list of SQL commands and so you connect to your server via your prefered method/ program and then open up the text file and click execute (or equiv)

    Please login your hosting cpanel and then login PHPMyAdmin, Click the database name on the left listing, Click "Import", Select the file "allgamesbackup.sql" to import and submit.

    Check with your hosting company - if they support a database, they must have some way for you to administer it, add tables, etc.

    yes, hence why I gave generic instructions rather than the assumption it is cpanel etc
