Dumping Data
January 16, 2011, 11:41:54 am
Is there any way to dump my contact records?  I assume with MySQL, but I am not sure I know where all the tables and stuff are (I have some custom fields)

I have a lot of dummy data from the installation, and then test data from lots of test imports, and I want to get rid of it all.

You can search for all contacts in CiviCRM & then delete them all as an action -  you may want to try to avoid deleting the one you are logged on as but if you do wind up deleting them I think as long as you log out & in you'll be OK

Just do a normal contact search but leave the criteria blank
