Since I ran into this problem myself, I figured out some SQL statements that would help me back up my tables, allowing me to take some risks with transfering data.

Here are some SQL commands you can run from the phpMyAdmin admin to copy, backup and create anew the table whose data you want to experiment on:
1. SHOW CREATE TABLE wp_posts (it will show you the sql to create the wp_posts table – copy this code on to your clipboard)
2. RENAME TABLE wp_posts to wp_posts1 (it will keep a back up of all your data)
3. Use the create table SQL created in step 1. to create the table again.

If you want to drop the table completely you can use the ‘Empty’ command in phpMyAdmin.

Just wanted to drop a note of appreciation to you guys, had a tough time transfering my old blog from blogger to WP.

While I had no problems publishing my archives to my website, my dates kept getting screwed up. I thought I had followed the instructions (apparently NOT!) to the T. After reading this post, I went back and checked my date stamp and lo, that was my problem.

Unless you sign up for HaloScan’s membership service, you can only access your comments that are less than 4 months old, after which HaloScan archives the comments. This is a feature that killed any interest in HaloScan for me.

Faced the same problem, with the upgrade failing on line 857 in te admin-functions.php. I tried using nightly builds ‘2005-01-18’, ‘2005-01-17’ & ‘2005-01-14’. Then gave up searched the forums and found scooter’s post who got build ‘2005-01-04’ to work on the upgrade. So gave it a shot, the Kubrik images were missing so uploaded those and another theme, and it worked after changing the presentation.
