My database is one that is in production to support the mediawiki wiki application. This is a Solaris Sparc 10 system using the mysql-max-5.0.20a-solaris10-sparc version. My database name is horsewiki. I execute this: # mysqldump --user root --password=password horsewiki > horsewiki.sql and get this: mysqldump: Got error: 1146: Table 'horsewiki.archive' doesn't exist when using LOCK TABLES I have tried using phpMyAdmin-2.9.0.2. It seems to let me export the database to an SQL file. When I attempt to import it on the other system, I get this: ++++++++ Error There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem ERROR: Unknown Punctuation String @ 494 STR: /> SQL: -- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump -- version 2.9.0.2 -- http://www.phpmyadmin.net -- -- Host: localhost -- Generation Time: Oct 16, 2006 at 10:00 AM -- Server version: 5.0.20 -- PHP Version: 5.1.6 -- -- Database: `horsewiki` --
