I have a MySQL database and I want to know the exact location where this data actually stored in the XAMPP folder, I went to this file location to try to get the information
Data are store in this path. You can search data location, just put the below address in your search location (url address):
C:\xampp\mysql\data
Your database is in this directory:
C:\xampp\mysql\data
If you are like me, and manually installed your webserver without using Xampp or some other installer,
Your data is probably stored at C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\data
In Ubuntu the file path is ./opt/lampp/var/mysql
Rather late I know, but you can use SELECT @@datadir
to get the information.
Happy file huntin' SO community :)
Just in case you forgot or avoided to copy through PHPMYADMIN export feature..
Procedure: You can manually copy: Procedure For MAC OS, for latest versions of XAMPP
Location : Find the database folders here /Users/XXXXUSER/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql..
Solution: Copy the entire folder with database names into your new xampp in similar folder.
Hope it helps, happy coding.
