Well, I am struggling with this error. The server roasted one day, so I reinstalled the server operating system. Mysql has been a painful reinstall.

I have finally got it back up and running, but now the original dumpfile (created via mysqldump) refuses to load into database.

I am using the following command to try to import the file.

mysql -u root -p < 08022005.sql

Here is what it is responding to me.

ERROR 1064 (00000) at line 29: 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 'DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1' at line 7

I wont paste the whole log, only the relevant parts

I am currently running 4.1.14... I don't believe the version mismatch is causing the issue as this is still withing 4.1.x release. If I could test this, I would, but its not really an option. does anyone have any thoughts?

I am running freebsd 5.4

Anything else you need to know to help troubleshoot this issue? If I find out the answer to this, I promise to post the answer... but I really feel that I am stuck.
