I see people selling websites, like Movie Trailer and Video Game websites, that have these special SQL files that you have to import into your database. Are there any Wordpress themes available that come with these SQL files? The SQL is always the part that I have trouble comprehending. Thanks.

  • There is no "special" SQL file as such. If you want to sell movie trailers or video games or whatever either you use an ecommerce plugin or just add those in posts or pages and add a paypal button for payment.

    • umm yes there is in many cases..... the ecommerce plugin isn't magic, it needs to store its information somewhere , as such most will add new database tables

      and what the "special" sql file is, basically is more tables that whatever plugin that comes with it, require to run for storing data and settings.

      almost every plugin that saves to the database has this, but in many cases the user does not see it, as they programmer sets the script to do a check to see if the database table already exists, if it doesn't it just auto runs and creates the tables.

      in some cases the programmer will just include the sql file for you to run under phpmyadmin.

      really just depends on who programed the script, and if they felt like taking the time to make it automatic or not.
  • i'm not sure i understand your question correctly...
    but if you want to dump mysql, there's a special button "dump MySQL" in phpMyadmin)
