Question

While migrating our drupal site from a hosting company to our main server. I ran into an error creating this table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `access` (
`aid` int( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`mask` varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '',
`type` varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '',
`status` tinyint( 4 ) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY ( `aid` )
) TYPE = MYISAM ;

This returns the following Error:

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 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 13

I exported the database with the following parameters:

SQL database
ADD DROP DATABASE
ADD IF NOT EXIST
Add AUTO_INCREMENT value
Enclose table and field names with backquotes
Add CREATE PROCEDURE / FUNCTION

And I set the compatibility to MYSQL40.
The version of the old mysql is 5.0.51a the one I wish to Import into is 5.5.16.

Answer 1

It appears that TYPE was deprecated in favor of ENGINE in mysql. It says it is still supported, though I would try to change TYPE = MYISAM to ENGINE = MYISAM and see if that doesn’t help you.
