Looking for help or a tutorial on how to upload my database into my new prestashop. The db was downloaded from an older version of prestashop we were running on, now I have changed host and installed 1.6 for a clean slate (as upgrading from 1.2 to 1.6 was a time wasting nightmare). I have read several posts on how to upload/restore into original database after upgrade, but advice does not work for this brand new set up. Is it even possible to do through phpMyAdmin? or will it be easier to start from scratch (500 products with attributes) Please advise if this is in the wrong forum section and I'll move query. Thanks in advance - any help appreciated
