Old db dump, New version. SQL command lines help needed (7 posts)

    I have made a clean installation of the new version (2.1).
    Then i imported a v2.0.7 dump file of the following 3 tables only (it replaced the default ones):

    wp_categories
    wp_post2cat
    wp_posts

    It doesn't work (tho it shows it on the sidebar).

    Is there some kind of SQL command lines i can run that will fix those 3 tables to fit v2.1 ??

    Thanks

    I think you would be better taking a complete 2.0.7 blog, upgrade that to 2.1 then in the Admin panels, delete what you don't want.

    Ye, I know there are better ways to upgrade, but i need this solution for a good reason. Don't even ask :)

    What actually needed is to know what changes has been made in these tables and update it accordingly..
    I don't know SQL well unfortunately...

    Okay, I don't ask.

    There may be a way to accomplish your task but it's not easy and involves in depth knowledge of WordPress and SQL. So based on your skills I would recommend: Don't even ask :)

    I do not guarantee any of these will work, so don't cry if your dog dies from this...

    UPDATE wp_posts SET post_status = 'published', post_type = 'page' WHERE post_status = 'static'
    UPDATE wp_posts SET post_status = 'inherit', post_type = 'attachment' WHERE post_status = 'attachment'
    ALTER TABLE wp_categories ADD link_count BIGINT , ADD posts_private TINYINT , ADD links_private TINYINT

    Manually change the status to 'future' for any future posts.

    #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'UPDATE wp_posts SET post_status = 'inherit', post_type = 'attach

    Any idea ?
