Mysql Error While Importing - mysql

Question

I am trying to import Mysql Data taken from Wordpress blog locally on Window 7 system. One way or other it is giving error.
The table wp_commentmeta was giving error. I have deleted all aksimet rows, but still error was coming. So, quit that table and included other tables. But now as well error is coming, which I do not understand:
Error: There is a chance that you may have found a bug in the SQL
parser. Please examine your query closely, and check that the quotes
are correct and not mis-matched. Other possible failure causes may be
that you are uploading a file with binary outside of a quoted text
area. You can also try your query on the MySQL command line interface.
The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help
you in diagnosing the problem. If you still have problems or if the
parser fails where the command line interface succeeds, please reduce
your SQL query input to the single query that causes problems, and
submit a bug report with the data chunk in the CUT section below:

The error is from PHPMyAdmin.

Answer 1

Just a warning message for everyone. I remember, I used to use command line more than any tool like phpMyAdmin. Today phpMyAdmin has taken so many hrs. phpMyAdmin was not exporting correctly and all problem was due to that.
Not even phpMyadmin could import its own exported data. I used mysqldump and then mysql ... db < sql.sql and it worked at lightening speed.
#mysqldump -u userName -p --add-drop-table --insert-ignore --result-file downloads/db_name_dump-oct-14.sql db_name
Then downloaded the file using FileZilla,
and on Wins 7:
>mysql -u root -proot wordpress < db_name_dump-oct-14.sql
Remember, do not give semi-colon at last.

Answer 2

Those characters are an encoded parser report. When decoded with scripts/decode_bug.php, it reports:
ERROR: C1 C2 LEN: 1 2 11
STR:
MySQL: 5.5.32
USR OS, AGENT, VER: Win CHROME 5.0.30
PMA: 4.0.4.1
PHP VER,OS: 5.4.19 WINNT
LANG: en
SQL:
So, it cannot report which SQL statement gave a problem. Maybe your import operation was incomplete, due to some incorrect server settings. See FAQ 1.16 in phpMyAdmin documentation include in your kit, or http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/docs.php.

Answer 3

Check the last line of your .sql file in an editor(Sublime Text or whatever you prefer). Does it have strange characters there? ETXNULLNULLNULLNULL etc. Remove that line and retry your import. Worked for me.

Answer 4

Just want to tack on a note that using TextWrangler I could not see the extra characters or text at the end of the sql document; however, I did see a white space, so I selected and deleted it, then saved. When I then imported into the database, the error disappeared! So take heart, Mac users, or rather TextWrangler users, who might have been mystified by the missing characters.
