I built a website locally using xampp. Now I want to put it on my server. I uploaded the code and now its time to import the database. So I exported it locally on the command line using:
mysqldump -hlocalhost -udb123456 -p123456 db123456 -e --default-character-set=utf8 > backup.sql
Now I created a new database on the server and imported this file using phpmyadmin on the server. The char set was set to utf-8 in phpmyadmin. When I open my site now, special chars like ü or € are shown as ü for example.
I can not import the dump using a console on the server, I may only use phpmyadmin.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks!
I had a similar problem. I solved it in the PHP code, as described here
PHP PDO: charset, set names?
(assuming you use PDO)

i have a .sql file that was exported from wamp, my friend only uses xampp. Is it possible to import my .sql file to xampp?
Yes because the .sql file is most likely independent of the server stack.
Of course it is possible, when wamp give you a export of .sql, this file can be used with all standard web server. (xampp)
I think this may help
Depending on the tool and parameters used to create the .sql dump file of multiple databases, the file will normally have
CREATE DATABASE DBn...;
and
USE DBn;
statements that will allow your import to proceed without hiccups. For example, both the mysqldump command mysqldump command and phpMyAdmin's Export function for multiple database insert them.
Assuming you have exported with a sensible tool like those above, then you can import the database with a command line like this:
mysql -u username -p < dumpfile.sql
Your mysql username account needs to have appropriate privileges to, for example, create databases.
You can even run this command in a more familiar way by naming the startingDB database to use before running the commands in dumpfile.sql:
mysql -u username -p startingDB < dumpfile.sql
I successfully created a mysqldump file myDump.sql of a myDb1 database using guidelines from this thread. Also I created a second database myDb2, navigated to the directory containing myDump.sql and trying to restore it into the new database myDb2 but failing, Two methods I tried:
> mysql -u root -p myDb2 < myDump.sql;
> -- entered password
and:
> mysql -u root -p
mysql> -- entered password
mysql> USE myDb2;
mysql> SOURCE myDump.sql;
Both have the same error message:
ERROR:
ASCII '\0' appeared in the statement, but this is not allowed unless option --binary-mode is enabled and mysql is run in
non-interactive mode. Set --binary-mode to 1 if ASCII '\0' is expected. Query: ' ■-'.
I'd also like to know if I need to use the same database name as the old db for the new one. I tried with a different and same names, but with this same result error.
This is probably caused by coding systems.
My dump file is generated using redirection (">") in powershell and I encountered the same problem. The output redirection generated a file with UTF-16 Little endian.
However, this can be solved by converting the dumpfile into utf-8. This can be done in emacs as:
M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system
Then save the file and import again.
The coding system of a file can be detected using GNU "file" utility, and it also available in windows and can be found here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/file.htm
For future use, a better dump command like:
mysqldump <dbname> -r <filename>
Check the myDump.sql file, it maybe a coding error in the file. These garbage characters cause this problem. Delete the garbage characters to solve the issue.

I have a mysql dump what contains ascii characters like überprüft. My problem is like I can not make another dump and I have been searching on the net for a solution but every suggestions would involve another dump set it up to utf-8. Is there a way to convert a dump file.
Is the entire dump encoded like that, that is, in UTF-8? In that case you can simply set the encoding when you import the dump.
If you use the mysql command line client to import the dump, use the --default-character-set command line switch when importing, for example:
> mysql -u user --default-character-set=utf8 < dump.sql
How to change encoding of the mysql dump files?
When I run mysqldump command it creates file encoded in ANSI. How to change it to utf-8? I have also tried to do this:
mysqldump --user=user1--password=pas1 --default-character-set=utf8 mydb1 mytbl1 > e:\1.sql
According to this forum thread, the culprit is the > filename redirection on Windows, which seems to have trouble with UTF-8 characters.
Try using the --result-file parameter instead.
I have a MySQL file, db.sql. I have tried to import it using:
mysql -uroot -p[password] db < db.sql
All I get is a listing of mysql commands, or I get a syntax error. The weird thing is I used this file last week and, as far as I know, I'm doing it the same way.
I create the database, then in command line enter the above but it's not working. I've tried being inside mysql and just at command line and nothing seems to be working.
Is there something I should be doing differently in windows or MySQL5? I don't know how the heck I got it to work the first time...
TIA
Try this instead:
mysql -u root -p
(prompts for password)
use db;
source db.sql
I found out it is different to run this command from Windows Command Line (cmd.exe) and Windows PowerShell.
Using CMD.exe the command works okay, but in PowerShell I get this error:
mysql -uroot exampledb < exampledb.sql
The '<' operator is reserved for future use.
Not sure if your example was a typo or not, but for starters you need to have a space in between your flags and their values, roughly like this:
mysql -u root -p [password] db < db.sql
If you are already logged in the try this it will be very useful, but depend upon the MySQL version, it works on MySQL 5.0
For log in if you are not already logged in.
mysql>[your password]
Other wise, use the database to which you want to import the SQLDump file by command.
mysql>use [your database name]
And then give source the database Dump file path as blow command(If not works the copy Dump database file to the bin folder where the MySQL installed for eg. "C:/programfiles/mysql/mqlserver5.0/bin")
mysql> source [dataBasePath+name.sql or dataBaseName.sql]
I've been using PHP script called "BigDump":
http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php
This perfectly works

I am using mysql server 5.5
In Windows PowerShell, you can pipe in the contents like so:
Get-Content db.sql | mysql -u root -p [password]
