Syntax error while importing .sql file to MySQL database


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've never done any .sql work so please excuse me if the syntax question is obvious.

 

I am trying to import a .sql file into a new MySQL database on Godaddy. I uploaded the file to the database backup directory and I'm using the restore feature to import the file. I already imported one file successfully to another database on Godaddy with this method. The second file generates an error log.

 

The error log contents :

 

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '

CREATE TABLE `wp78ecomments` (

  `comment_ID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL a' at line 1

 

Here are the first few lines of code:

 

CREATE TABLE `wp78ecomments` (

  `comment_ID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

  `comment_post_ID` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',

 

The file I'm trying to imported was created with phpMyAdmin version 2.6.4-pl3

and the database version I'm importing to is 5.0

 

Thanks for you insight.
