You can export it (do a database backup) and then create a new database (with a new name) and import that backup into the new database. Then just make sure you point your config.php file to the new database.

i did do that lynne for main database but we have 2 databases for our vb

forum
albumpictures

i cant find anywhere to point the albumpictures to a different database

How are you able to use two database for your vb site?

when you tell the albumpicture to store in the database it creates a seperate sql for the albumpictures on 3.7.1 dont ask me why unless this db is for somthing else but it seems to be ised by vb unless someone can tell me elsewise:eek:

vBulletin only uses one database. That database has several tables, but it only uses the database you point to in your /includes/config.php file. If you have another database that it is using, then it is most likely from some modification you installed and you would have entered the database name somewhere in that modification.
