The command is (in virtualbox’s folder in command prompt) VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid C:\path\to\hd.vdi

The command had been renamed, before the “sethduuid” part was “setvdiuuid” so I decided to make this post so perhaps others might benefit from not having to figure out the command’s name change themselves.

Here’s how to do it manually:

Issue

create database “newdatabase”;

Then for every table in your old database

rename table `olddatabase`.`tablename` to `newdatabase`.`tablename`;

Yeah I know it’s manual labor, but “show tables” query and a text editor with macro support makes it a bit easier. :)

If anybody’s interested, I attached the DLL here.

Started the PHP project at http://code.google.com/p/fantastisql/

It is actually a spin-off of my xsLib project, a PHP framework for doing things super-quick. Why spin-off? To get FantastiSQL lifted off quickly. xsLib is still in early stages of development.
