 * The excellent instructions written out here:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup](http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup)
   worked fine until my web server admin updated myphpAdmin to 2.8. The differences
   may not be critical to an above-average php user, but using my own limited knowledge,
   I tried using “Import”, but I get an error that such-and-such tables already 
   exist.
 * So is there a way to use the tables of the backup file to just overwrite the 
   existing tables?
 * thanks for everything,
    Thomas
