Open the sql file with a ascii editor and have a closer look to:

  -- Database: `my_database_name`

  ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=6

and change it to your needs.

:!: AUTO_INCREMENT must be set to n+1 (last number of guestbook_id +1) :!:

<note> If you haven´t a empty target db, please have a look into for the value of AUTO_INCREMENT. In your generated sql file the numbering of the column guestbook_id must begin with this value!! All following entries must be nummeriert ascending.
Set AUTO_INCREMENT to n+1 (last number of guestbook_id +1). </note>


Import into the second db (target)

Import this file into the target db

Result in target db

<note> guestbook cp:
You find the associated alias-ID of a guestbook in the db table column guestbook_cid.


The alias-ID in your guestbook cp must be the same like the ID in the db table column guestbook_cid.
If in the db table column guestbook_cid more then one ID exist, you have more then one guestbook in several contentparts. </note>

guestbook content part
