<div>I got essentially the same printout. There were the following, among many others:</div>
<div>mysqldump.exe</div>
<div>mysqldump.pdb</div>
<div>What's a *.pdb file? Don't know it matters. If there were just some darn way to know where that daggone database is, I could copy it and move it to another machine.</div>
<div>TIA,</div>
