I am trying to import a database in putty with the syntax:
Code:
mysql –u database_username –p database_name < filename.mysql
As you can see in the screenshot it asks me for the database password - which suggests that the syntax is correct - but then after I enter the password it gives the syntax error message =
Code:
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 line 1.
I can't see what is wrong with the syntax - any suggestions please?
Thank you

It is complaining about the content of filename.mysql
We would have to see that file in order to help
@ Jim - thanks for your help. Having looked at the mysql file I can see it is corrupt. The error message about syntax confused me - a more accurate and helpful error message might have directed me (as you did) to the mysql file.
