Topic: backup data files

i am hosting a site with siteground.com.
they installed punbb for us successfully.
but i have problem in making it use a backup file punbb_db_backup.2006-01-13.sql.
siteground did everything for me, but there is a problem:

"it seems that some data types (online table, HEAP data type) is not supported by the mysql storage engine and cannot be read."

so what now?

Re: backup data files

I think this is a SQL compatibility problem. Check version of SQL servers.

It certainly is supported wink
However, if they insist, the online table can be another format as well (like MyISAM)
