Actually, both databases are there. At least, I can access to the site I have content. So basically, what you are saying is that every time I update mysql, even if I backup, there is a risk of loosing the database. Is that right?NO, not if you stop and learn how MySQL works and stop blaming the software for your lack of knowledge.
If your databases were working in MySQL8.0.15 then switch back to MySQL8.0.15 THEY WILL STILL BE THERE !!!!
LEFT CLICK wampmanager->MySQL->Version->8.0.15
Give it a few seconds to stop the current MySQL and swicth to 8.0.15 and then restart MySQL (all automatic)
Then if your databases used to exist in 8.0.15 they will still be there untouched. UNLESS YOU UNINSTALLED WAMPServer, in which case you shot yourself in the foot.
However, you should always backup, databases and code and ANYTHING you cannot afford to loose every time you upgradeNOW if you want to move to the new MySQL. Do a backup, swictch database versions, do a restore.
Former advise on the forum about updating was to backup before changing the version, which I did, but it seems that even though, you can loose it.YES backup databases every time you add data that you do not want to recreate, or would take longer to recreate that it does to run a backup.
If you do a proper BACKUP you will be able to restore that data.
This all sounds like you did not do a proper backup of your database and./or you do not know how to restore the backup properly.
Thats what WAMPServer is for, use it to learn how to do thing witl Apache MySQL PHP properly.
But thiese skill do not get implanted in your head just because you installed WAMPServer, they need to be learned and practiced
