# New Codebase, Old SQL?

 * Last week I lost my site files due to a nasty security breach. My SQL database
   was safe, but all the files associated with my wordpress installation are gone.
   And of course I don’t have a backup. It was all stock though, so nothing was 
   really lost.
 * I’m not sure what version of wordpress I was running, I think it was up to date
   as of about a month ago. Will I have problems if I just dump the current version
   onto my site and point it at my old SQL database? I searched around the docs 
   for a bit but I’m not quite sure what to be searching for.
