Is it possible to recreate the database from scratch on a typo3 4.7.10?
After a migration the database got lost and only the files are available. My job now is to create a new database for it.
Do I have to install a typo3 4.7 and then use this database or is it somehow possible to recreate the database with the current installation?
You can create an empty db via phpMyAdmin, for example.
Then go to Install Tool -> Basic Configuration and enter your db credentials there. After that you can switch to DB analyzer and click on "Compare" button.
TYPO3 will then prompt all the SQL queries it will perform, which in your case will be "CREATE TABLE ...". Just agree with that and your empty TYPO3 db will be created.
