Because of some unfortunate events I had to remove mysql from my Mac Ventura completely. There was only one database I was using. Let’s call it my_db.
Timemachine has backed up this database with all the other stuff, so I have it as a directory of files, called my_db.
After reinstalling mysql and placing the my_db where it belongs in the new installation, i.e. under /usr/local/var/mysql, mysql refuses to use it.
Any way I can fix this?
I would like mysql recognize the old my_db database.
PS. Before I get the advice to back stuff up regularly: I do. I have a db dump that is a few days older.
