   I just deleted my old WP installation because I was having some trouble that I couldn't find an answer to (yes, I tried upgrading but that didn't work either...).

   Before I deleted everything, I backed up my SQL database that included all of my existing entries.

   I'd like to take all of my old entries from my previous WordPress installation and import them into the new installation. I cleared the tables so that the data is gone but the tables still exist.

   How can I take the data from the SQL backup and re-add it to the WP database? I'm on Dreamhost and I use phpMyAdmin to manage the databases.

   Thanks in advance.

   I've some guides there which may help, but if you have a complete db dump and there are tables still in the db, you need to drop them (delete them) rather than just empty them.
