You can help by sending a sample database (mysqldump).

I don't know how to export an "sample"-dump, without all that (particullar private) data.

You can "null" it using phpMyAdmin. Make a backup before starting.

Search your license information and remove it from the database. And so on with private messages and users (emails, passwords). Just leave an admin with a new password.

Do not touch your production database. Create a new database and import your data from backup.

pma doesn't work, but i'll look what i can do.

Winginx for Windows comes with phpMyAdmin preinstalled.

On Linux it takes just a few minutes to install it.

You can also use a free OpenShift cloud. Add MySQL database to the gear and after that phpMyAdmin.

I switched from pma to http://www.adminer.org/ . It's much more lightweight and doesnt need an installation. just call the script and connect to your db.

@belstgut Yes. Adminer is much better.
I also tried SQLBuddy and MySqlDumper. But Adminer beats them all.

Oh yes, back when I worked with php, adminer was a miracle. So much more lightweight compared to pma.
