You're using MariaDB not MySQL. Two different database systems (MariaDB is similar but not the same as MySQL).
If you simply copied the "data" file from the file system of XAMPP installation you probably most likely 99.9% chance destroyed your database. You need to properly export, and import the database using phpMyAdmin. That's the only way.
I don't use XaMPP, I find WAMPServer much more satisfactory and for the fact you can install PHP versions and MySQL/MariaDB versions and updates to phpMyAdmin as modules - with XaMPP you're stuck with whatever it ships with.
