== Text in the MySQl database == When I download the database (I have the Spanish version of the database), the text shows up as a bunch of unreadable symbols. How do I get the actual text of the articles? : If you're simply looking at the file you got from the download, then it'll be meaningless to everyone - it's a dump of a MySQL database. To read it, you need to load it into a mySQL database. Then the wikitext (which is odd, but not meaningless) will be visible in the "cur" table. To read that as HTML, you either need to install [[mediawiki]] or build an offline version (see [[Wikipedia:Database_download#Static_HTML_tree_dumps_for_mirroring_or_CD_distribution]]). -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter | Talk]] 21:24, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
