I have two sets of tables in the db; I want to get rid of 
only one. I am limited to one db unless I upgrade which is 
not in my current plans.

I am considering using dokuwiki since it is html based and 
so not easily open to spamming as mediawiki. But sorting out 
mediawiki seems a big job that I am just not able to do now.

My later post showed that MySQLAdmin provides the easy 
answer; just hadn't found it.

Thanks as always David for the help.
