Answer 1

There are two different types of quotation marks in MySQL. You need to use ` for column names and ' for strings. Since you have used ' for the filename column the query parser got confused. Either remove the quotation marks around all column names, or change 'filename' to `filename`. Then it should work.

Answer 2

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

' at line 1

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

mysqldump -h <host> -u <username> -p <database> > 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.

Answer 3

Execute dump query in terminal then it will work

mysql -u root -p  <Database_Name> > <path of the input file>

Don't quote the column filename

mysql> INSERT INTO risks (status, subject, reference_id, location, category, team,    technology, owner, manager, assessment, notes,filename) 
VALUES ('san', 'ss', 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 'sment', 'notes','santu');

Save code below as command.sql

USE restaurant
TRUNCATE `orders`;
TRUNCATE `order_items`;

Then run

mysql -u root <comands.sql> output.tab
