change SQL database password
Hi, my host I think has changed something recently and I need to change my SQL password. I can see the page to do this but the options are not to just update password but to select one of the following <> Its not a new database, I just wanted to change/update password so having done that in the table above this which option do I now select?. Or is there another way to do this without disrupting anything? Thank you kindly, Kevin

These are the options I must to choose from to update the password

If you make changes here, Gossamer Links needs to examine the new database. Your choices are:

Create new default Gossamer Links tables in this database but do not overwrite any existing data.

Create new default Gossamer Links tables in this database and overwrite/erase any existing data.

Load table info from an existing set of tables (or resync the def files if you have changed your defs manually).

its not a new table so I am a bit unsure which to choose ?

Andy sent me a reply which I will share,

"For your issue - you probably just want to edit /admin/defs/database.def. Change it there, and it'll take effect across the whole installation

"

thanks as always Andy :-)
