Question

While I am trying to insert a row to my table, I\'m getting the following errors:

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that         


        

Answer 1

C:\xampp>mysql -u root -p mydatabase < C:\DB_Backups\stage-new.sql
Enter password:
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the ma
nual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use n
ear 'stage-new.sql

----lot of space----

' at line 1

The reason was when I dumped the DB I used following command :

mysqldump -h  -u  -p  > dumpfile.sql
dumpfile.sql

By mistaken dumpfile.sql added twice in the syntax.

Solution : I removed the dumpfile.sql text added to first line of the exported dumpfile.
