Rebuild DB from exported/dumped .SQL script

  • Hi,

    I have taken over the administration of a WordPress site for a group I am affiliated with. I run 2 wordpress sites myself so I am familiar with it, and I am a Python developer/SQL developer by day.

    My issue is, I have been provided with a copy of the site to setup for testing purposes for new features/content, but the hosting provider didn’t give me a DB, they gave me a .SQL script which includes structure and data.

    My issue is:

    How do I know/edit what the database needs to be called for WP to know which one to access?
    How do I find out/replace the username/password that WP needs to use in order to access and edit the DB?

    Kind Regards,

    Morrolan

  • just create a new db on host where you want to migrate
    login using phpmyadmin

    import the sql file that you have received
    modify wp-config.php to access new db
