ERROR 1064 42000 in MySQL

Question

I am trying to populate a new MySQL empty database with a db dump created from MS SQL Azure database  and I get the following error     ERROR 1064  42000  at line 1  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  I   at line 1   I used mysqldump to perform this operation and used command similar to the following in the command prompt   mysql --user rootusername --pasword password databasename  lt  dumpfilename sql   Mysqldump took about 30 minutes to display this error message

Faced the same issue  Indeed it was wrong SQL at the beginning of the file because when dumping I did   mysqldump -u username --password password db name  gt  dump sql   Which wrote at the beginning of the file something that was in stdout which was      mysqldump   Warning  Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure    Resulting in the restore raising that error   So deleting the first line of the SQL dump enables a proper restore   Looking at the way the restore was done in the original question  there is a high chance the dump was done similarly as mine  causing a stdout warning printing in the SQL file  if ever mysqldump was printing it back then

Error 1064 often occurs when missing DELIMITER around statement like   create function  create trigger   Make sure to add DELIMITER    before each statement and end it with    DELIMITER like this   DELIMITER    CREATE TRIGGER  agents before ins tr  BEFORE INSERT ON  agents    FOR EACH ROW BEGIN  END    DELIMITER

For me I had a    create table mytable        dadada      and forgot the semicolon at the end     So looks like this error can occur after simple syntax errors  Just like it says   I guess you can never read the helpful compiler comments closely enough

I had this  and it was the create syntax  changed to --create-options and life was better  mysqldump -u  user  -p -create-options  DBNAME   gt  DumpFile  sql   And that restored nicely

I had this error because of using mysql mariadb reserved words   INSERT INTO tablename  precision  VALUE  2   should be   INSERT INTO tablename   precision   VALUE  2

For those coming to this question from a search engine   check that your stored procedures declare a custom delimiter  as this is the error that you might see when the engine can t figure out how to terminate a statement      ERROR 1064  42000  at line 3  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    at line      If you have a database dump and see   DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS prc test  CREATE PROCEDURE prc test  test varchar 50   BEGIN     SET  sqlstr   CONCAT WS       CREATE DATABASE    test   CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8 general ci        SELECT  sqlstr      PREPARE stmt FROM  sqlstr      EXECUTE stmt  END    Try wrapping with a custom DELIMITER   DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS prc test  DELIMITER    CREATE PROCEDURE prc test  test varchar 50   BEGIN     SET  sqlstr   CONCAT WS       CREATE DATABASE    test   CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8 general ci        SELECT  sqlstr      PREPARE stmt FROM  sqlstr      EXECUTE stmt  END     DELIMITER

I got this error      ERROR 1064  42000    because the downloaded  sql tar file was somehow corrupted  Downloading and extracting it again solved the issue

Do you have a specific database selected like so   USE database name   Except for that I can t think of any reason for this error

I ran into this once - for me  deleting all the commented out lines at the beginning of my dump file is what fixed the problem   Looks like it was a whitespace error

Making the following changes in query solved this issue   INSERT INTO table name   column1    column2   values   val1    val2      Note that the column names are enclosed in    character above tab  and not in quotes

If the line before your error contains COMMENT    either populate the comment in the script or remove the empty comment definition   I ve found this in scripts generated by MySQL Workbench

Check your dump file  Looks like a stray character at the beginning  SQL isn t standard the world around  and the MySQL importer expects MySQL-friendly SQL  I m willing to bet that your exporter did something funky   You may have to massage the file a bit to get it to work with MySQL

Finally got a solution   First  sql file converts into the UTF8   Then use this command  mysql -p -u root --default character set utf8 test  lt  var 201535 sql  ---root is the username  ---test is the database name  or  mysql -p -u root test  lt   var 201535 sql   ---root is the username  ---test is the database name
