[MySQL] How to view 'ibdata1' file
« on: May 24, 2015, 11:22:42 am »
As you know 'ibdata1' is the file used in MySQL Data directory. I downloaded one of those from a server and now I want to open it but I didn't find ANYTHING except a repo on github holding the script for this which I failed to use it.

*I have the table names and column names if that helps (It's using wordpress)

Thank you all EZs

 :-X Yeah you're right. I did try that in the first place, MySQL service failed to start. So I guess I did something wrong?

Probably some mysql config -or permission issue. Check your logs and start googling. Usually there is already some error message in service failed to start output that can tell you what's wrong..
