Go for it and see what happens. You should be ok. You'll probably find the SQL queries that any MODs need are still in the database and so won't need to be rerun.

What if you want to install a database from an earlier version....say 3.01 or 3.00,,,I forget which version my site was running on but it was definitely 3.00 or 3.1, It definitely wasn't the latest version. Can I still import the database?

instead of dragging up a 6 year old topic, please start a new one and describe your situation and exactly what you are trying to do.
