Where are the data?

Config: Windows 8.1

Hi,

I use MariaDB for few days. I have created a database and some tables.

I would like to save my work. But where are the data (and/or, where is the database)?

Thank you,

Best regards.

Connect to your MariaDB server; run SELECT @@datadir . It should tell you where in the file system your data is located.

But if you need to create a backup, you might want to look at mysqldump tool.
