Question

I’ve exported sql from a MySQL server (version from the exported file says: 5.1.41) and am trying to run the exported sql on a new MySQL server which in the debug says the client version is ‘5.1.41’ but server_info paramater says ‘5.5.15-log’ (I’m using PHP MySQLi extension).

I am getting the following error:

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 `mojo_global_regions` ( id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, reg' at line 22

And here is the chunk of code it is complaining about:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mojo_global_regions` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `region_id` varchar(100) DEFAULT '',
  `region_name` varchar(100) DEFAULT '',
  `layout_id` int(5) DEFAULT NULL,
  `content` text,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `region_id` (`region_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=19 ;

Can anyone see what is wrong with this syntax?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It looks like there is a statement before the CREATE TABLE that didn’t get terminated properly.
