 * I just realized I’ve been backing up the database the wrong way.
 * On the guide [http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database](http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database)
   
   it says to check:
 * ‘Structure’
    ‘Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION’ ‘Add IF NOT EXISTS’‘
   Add AUTO_INCREMENT’ and ‘Enclose table and field names with backquotes’
 * But previously I’ve been checking:
 * ‘Structure’
    ‘Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION’ ‘Add IF NOT EXISTS’‘
   Add AUTO_INCREMENT’ and **‘Add Create Procedure/Function**
 * So I’m just curious if it will affect my blog in anyway… I’ve restored using 
   these backups.
