 * So I am moving my sites to a new host. I have to download the SQL files. I have
   tow of them on my old host. One is barely used and the other one is nearly 500MB
 * How can I tell which one my site is currently using?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmigration-and-sql%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You should read [https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
   
   and see if one of the migration plugins would work well for you.

 * [@thompsonaire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thompsonaire/) you can check
   your wp-config.php and search for the database name, and you can identify the
   database what your site is currently using

 * HI Jed,
    Thank you. I figured that out about 2 minutes after posting this. Sometimes
   the most simple things are hiding right in front of our face.
 * Thank you.
