 * I am having a serious issue with my blog and message bodies over 5MBs. I cannot
   track the issue down. I have deleted all plugins, moved to the default theme 
   and removed all attachments and the issue still persists. What I would like to
   do at this time is install a fresh copy of WordPress and carry the important 
   information which consists of the posts, categories and main settings. What tables
   must I export to be able to import this back into WordPress and have it still
   work properly?
 * Thank you!

 * Cute. I appreciate the time but you did not answer the question. I am not looking
   to perform a complete backup of the database. My 5 year old niece can do that.
