Steve,
Here's the variable: mysqli://root:xxxxxxx@localhost/dd08.
PhP My Admin lists the following 3 databases, all of which seem to be Drupal related:
dd08 (which I created)
information_schema (which seems to be Views related)
mysql (which has 17 records that may or may not have anything to do with the Drupal site. I can't tell.)
Now, you need to understand that I'm not a programmer, and I don't work in Terminal mode. Instead, I'm using Mamp, which makes PhP and SQL work within what I regard as a somewhat normal user interface. Drupal also operates within Mamp. So, I'm looking for actual files and folders in System X, and what I find is the following:
Mamp >>db>>mysql>>dd08 (folder), ib_logfile0, iblogfile1, ibdata1, mysql(folder). [The comma-separated items are all the same level.]
The mysql folder contains 51 files with terminations in .frm, .MYD, and MYI. The dd08 folder contains only a single file called "db.opt" (options?).
I find nothing in that folder that bears any similarity to "information_schema."
So, I'm befuddled. If I have to, I suppose I can learn enough about Terminal mode to find the proper file and upload it.
I guess I don't even know quite what to ask. Perhaps this will give someone enough info to extend a suggestion.
Thanks,

Guys,
I'm in the process of uploading my alpha-version site. I've got the
Drupal folder uploaded. Now I need to find the db it has stored
things in, and I'm not sure where to find it.
I'm on a new Mac, operating within Mamp. Any chance that any of you
are operating in a similar environment and can tell me which files/
folders I need to upload and to which folders within the webhosting
site?
