Hi,
I did a very stupid thing and backed up a database by copying it from the data folder. I was using Wamp5 1.7.3 at the time, so I downloaded and tried it with that. I've created a user with the same username and password. When I try to access the database via phpMyAdmin, it says "database_name(17)" on the left but under it where it should list the tables theres just "No tables found in database." All I have is are the frm and db.opt files, and I would really like to restore the structure of the database. Can anyone help me out?
I am able to see a list of the tables when clicking on search at the top, even though the mouse cursor turns to a X. There's also a list of the tables on the query tab.

You need to perform proper db backup/export and restore/import instead copy folder which only works for a certain db type
