Re: How to refresh the complete database using the export dump?.

Ahhh...the beauty of the written word--so many ways to (mis)interpret the intention of a few words.

My advice: In cases where there may be some "grey," always give the benefit of the doubt to the author.

It's situations like these that remind me why there's no substitute for face-to-face meetings.

Enjoy your Sunday (or whatever day it may be in your timezone).

Actually I thought Mark's reply spot on. Not just RTFM nor a straight answer because there's a good chance that exp is being used inappropriately. Rather a nudge in the right direction and an invite to think. That's mentoring in my book - though I may have been getting it wrong of course.
