Connecting to nonwamp MySQL version (2 replies)

Several months ago I installed MySQL (version 5.6.29) from the Oracle website.

A few days agao I installed Wampserver, which includes MySQL version 5.6.1.7. The wampserver install went fine. See details below.

However, all my data is in the version I installed from the Oracle web site.

Can I get Wampserver to use/point to the non-wamp version? How?

Thanks in advance for the help!
