Procedure to restore previous executions

​Create a procedure to restore all the old (previous) data and the ability of AIQ to handle.

Create a backup for current and active aiq (need to be performed having aiq offline) as below.

​$ mysqldump -u root -p aiq > <path>\currentaiq.sql

2. Drop aiq schema and creation of a new aiq blank schema, this needs to be addressed using MysqlWorkbench and connected as root.

drop schema aiq;

create schema if not exists `aiq` default character set utf8 collate

utf8_general_ci;

3. Restore the database of previous executions to point of failure, performing as below.
$ mysql -u root -p aiq < <path>\aiqbq.sql

4. Execute as root the attached sql script renameWindows.sql, it'll perform the following.

a. create the aiq_old schema

b. grant permissions to aiq user for aiq_old schema

b. rename aiq's tables to aiq_old schema

c. create views, functions, stored procedures for aiq_old schema

5. Drop aiq schema and creation of a new aiq blank schema, this needs to be addressed using MysqlWorkbench and connected as root.

drop schema aiq;

create schema if not exists `aiq` default character set utf8 collate

utf8_general_ci;

6. Restore current aiq schema again using the backup created in the first step.
$ mysql -u root -p aiq < <path>\currentaiq.sql
