Where can I get a copy of original Zencart database

Please go easy on me - even though I don't deserve it.

I have just installed Zencart and was messing about with the Admin for the Shop and the MySQL database, just seeing what changes what, and I deleted the whole original database that comes with Zencart. Yes that's right, the whole database. Please don't ask how or why I did this, I just did. I hadn't even got around to backing it up yet, as I didn't have anything to back up.

So that I can start again, I have created a new blank database in MySQL and have created a user. Is there any place I can get a copy of just the original Zencart database? I don't want to go through a whole re-install as I had enough problems just getting the thing installed in the first place.

Please help. I'm definately not worthy!!

Look inside the zc_install folder for an SQL folder. Inside you will find the mysql_zencart.sql file. I believe this is what you need.

Or, an easier way would be to just re-run the zc_install process via the browser, and thus do a fresh install again.
