Q: Why we cannot have setup to directly download and overwrite and upgrade ?A: I think that the devs plan to add something like that, but its not real high on the priority list right now, and is intrinsically insecure.and hard to make secure. Q: Did you try to replicate those ?A: If you are asking if I tried to open tickets via gmail yes. It did not result in multiple attachments. If you are referring to something about 1.7 then no, as I do not have a 1.7 installation.Q: If
there is a bug in my version of Mysql, then why there is no problem in
uploading first the version 1.6 and then upgrading to 1.7.12. Why there
is only problem in uploading of 1.7.12 database and not uploading
database of version 1.6 ?A: First of all this was a guess. 1.6 is a substantially different database structure from 1.7. It's your version of MySQL that's creating the back up(s), and performing
the restore(s). Your install is writing the .sql file. Its then
reading that file that it wrote... and is throwing an error. You did not answer my question: Are you moving from to the same version of MySQL?
