title: What is the exact location of MySQL database tables in XAMPP folder?
body: <p>I have a MySQL database and I want to know the exact location where this data actually stored in the XAMPP folder, I went to this file location to try to get the information:</p>
  
  <pre><code>xampp -&gt; mysql -&gt; data -&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here I found a separate folder for each of my databases and within these folders I saw files stored with the <code>.frm format (FRM FILE)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>When I copied my desired database with all tables in <code>.frm format</code> and try to use them on another PC, I was given an empty database of the same name.</p>
  
  <p>Where are the data files for the database kept on the local server?</p>
