 * Hi
    First thank you for your awsome plug in might be really relying on it one
   day and then I will be very glad that I came accross you. Right now I have a 
   littler issue. I accidentally deleted some data from a user. so I downladed the
   database from the time where the data was not lost yet. But how do I open that
   data base now? I dont want to play it on my current site because there is other
   new data by now.
 * I tried loading it into phpmyadmin but it accepts only .sql.zip files.
 * Is there a other way to open it or view the informations in the file?

 * Hi,
 * If you rename the file so that it ends in db.sql.gz (instead of just db.gz, its
   default format), then phpMyAdmin will accept it.
