I am updating from 7.1.0. Trying to follow your instructions, but need more information please. (Sorry for my beginner questions). As per the attached picture, the User table is selected and I see the Export button. BUT... I don't know where 'Create table options' is, unless you mean the Create table button on the bottom left. In any case I don't see where to check 'If not exists'. Also, can you explain what is meant by: REPLACE set as the 'Function to use when dumping data' Finally for the 'func' table you say: I typically just do 'SHOW CREATE EVENT', copy those queries, and re-run them on for the new server install. Could you explain that please. Thanks.
