While importing mysqldump file ERROR 1064 (42000) near ' ■/ ' at line 1

Question

Cannot import the below dump file created by mysqldump.exe in command line of windows

/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET         


        

Answer 1

It seems that the input file (mysqldumpfile.sql) was created in UTF-8 encoding so these first 3 bytes "at line 1" invisible to you in the .SQL file is the byte order mark (BOM) sequence

So try to change default character set to UTF-8

mysql --user=root --password=root --default_character_set utf8 < mysqldumpfile.sql
