If I went with phpMyAdmin for direct manipulation of the database tables what table specifically would contain the information I need? Sadly I have a feeling i'm miss understanding what I can do here. I'm thinking that I can open up one of the tables and there will be the coding like page name, with all of the coding for each individual page that I can then extract copying/pasting the information into a text document. After that I could just recreate each page on the wiki copying/pasting the information from the text document. However I doubt that's exactly what I can do and that just isn't possible.

Is there any program that can access the wiki page files directly and extract them putting them onto the new wiki site? Would want to save

way as a sort of last resort due to the time and energy involved with it.
If you really want to go this route, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_table
But as this is a relational database with lots of interdependencies this might not be a feasible way to go.
You can use phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net ) for direct manipulation of database tables.
