Updating a Project in TortoiseSVN 1.4.7
To get any changes made whilst you were away, you right-click the local folder and select SVN Update.
Context Menu
My authentication details were automatically re-used from the first SVN Checkout. This was convenient.
Progress Window
A window pops up to show progress. It contains an empty Listview with 3 columns.
Completed
When finished, it adds a Completed to the Listview and says how much data was transferred.
A Show log... button becomes visible, too. This should be Show Log... because:
- button captions use title case in Windows;
- Alt+S is a one-handed shortcut;
- and it’s on the left hand, so more ergonomic for most people.
Grab the Server Database
phpMyAdmin
Select Database
The one we want is Joomla15. You select it from a dropdown list on the left-hand side.
This could a normal navigation list. Then you could see which are available at a glance. Selecting one would take a single click.
View Database
After selecting the database, you get this screen. I click the Export tab.
Export Database
Arrive at a huge set of options, shown in the screenshot.
I skip all these and click Go.
Copy the Database
Select All the text, then Copy it.
Update Local Database using phpMyAdmin
Going to http://localhost/ when WAMP is running shows this admin page.
Near the bottom is the link to manage the database.
Select Database
The local database is named Joomla15 to match the server’s database.
Drop Database
I click the Drop tab to destroy my local copy of the database.
Are you Sure?!
It brings up a warning message, which is a good idea. It says:
You are about to DESTROY a complete database!
Do you really want to :
DROP DATABASE `joomla15`
Weird capitalisation and punctuation as original.
It has an OK button and a Cancel button. I click OK.
Dropped
Database has been dropped.
Recreate the Database
At the local phpMyAdmin page, I enter Joomla15 in the Create New Database box. I then click Create.
The database is now ready for the server’s SQL from the Export.
The SQL tab opens the page to do that.
Paste SQL
Paste into the box, then click Go.
Done!
The local database now matches the server’s database.
