I'm trying to move a site to a new host - the problem is my new host is using a different version of mysql. (a newer version) when I export the database and try and import it to the new one they seem incompatible and I get this error

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - 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 'contentId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`section


Any ideas on how I can import the database?

Sorry to answer the question with a question, but I need more information.

What are the versions of MySQL on both servers? How are you exporting/importing (cli, phpmyadmin ect)?

OK

I'm exporting from " phpMyAdmin 2.6.0-pl3


MySQL 4.0.22-standard running on localhost "

and importing on "phpMyAdmin 2.6.1-rc1


MySQL 4.0.23-standard running on localhost"

Thanks for the reply - this has been ruining my afternoon.

Re: Problem exporting mySql database

OK that helps some. I just migrated my site to new servers two weeks ago. I had a rough time with the database import with Phpmyadmin also.

Once I got it sorted out I added to this FAQ Page. Just read through that real quick and see if anything there will help you. I am not sure of the size of your database but if it is too large, once you get past your current errors it will timeout.

Anyway HTH.

I still can't get it to work

The problem lies in the diifference between the two versions creating the syntax error.

Is there any other method of exporting the database?

Can you use mysqldump?

Re: Problem exporting mySql database

Your host will have to allow access to the command line. You use it through the MySQL CLI. But I am gathering more information through google as we speak. Seem there are some problems with the single quotes in the sql file.

I will post if I find a common denominator before I go to work.

For the export you could use the mysqlbackup module.

Go to http://www.nagl.ch
