   Hi, tried to restore my database through phpMyAdmin, but i'm getting the following error:

   Error

   SQL query:

   --
   -- Database: stannum_wrdp1
   --
   -- --------------------------------------------------------
   --
   -- Table structure for table wp_comments
   --
   CREATE TABLE wp_comments (
   comment_ID bigint( 20 ) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   comment_post_ID int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
   comment_author tinytext NOT NULL ,
   comment_author_email varchar( 100 ) NOT NULL default '',
   comment_author_url varchar( 200 ) NOT NULL default '',
   comment_author_IP varchar( 100 ) NOT NULL default '',
   comment_date datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
   comment_date_gmt datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
   comment_content text NOT NULL ,
   comment_karma int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
   comment_approved enum( '0', '1', 'spam' ) NOT NULL default '1',
   comment_agent varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '',
   comment_type varchar( 20 ) NOT NULL default '',
   comment_parent bigint( 20 ) NOT NULL default '0',
   user_id bigint( 20 ) NOT NULL default '0',
   PRIMARY KEY ( comment_ID ) ,
   KEY comment_approved ( comment_approved ) ,
   KEY comment_post_ID ( comment_post_ID )
   ) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT =1501;

   MySQL said: Documentation
   #1050 - Table 'wp_comments' already exists

   What should I do to fix this?

   If you are indeed restoring from back ups, meaning you have all your comments in the current file you're trying to restore, simply drop the wp_comments table that is in the database currently and try again.

   Because your query is asking SQL to "CREATE TABLE wp_comments (" but it cannot do so while a table with the same name already exists.

   Already solved the problem by dropping all existing tables in the database and restoring from the backup.

   Thanks for the tip fantasycrusader.
