Hi Carlos,
There are 53 tables with the last one being watchdog.
I don't seem to have the privillage to import.  all I can do is export  from
the menu options I can find.  I don't think I have shell access to the
server.

I went to PHP admin and counted 53 tables.
The last one was watch dog.
What do you think?
Is there some sort of script I can run with out having shell access to load
the tables with a prefix of dr_?

Kind Regards,
Chris
