MySql Is There a Limit on the size of a query

Question

I am trying to restore a MySql database I had from version 3 of MySql from backups I saved. I have installed version 5.6.17. When I try to create a table from a file that is 60+ lines long it fails with ERROR 1064 in line 22. If I delete line 22 it complains about the new line 22.

I trust the SQL file I am using because I got it from a backup of the old MySql.

Is ther a limit that can be increased to allow this table create to work?

Answer 1

You will see the 1064 MySQL syntax error when you incorrectly use reserved words such as when or order . These reserved words may differ for each version of MySQL. Considering you are trying to restore a db from version 3 it is likely you are getting the 1064 error due to MySQL version mismatch. You should check the version 3 sql file for conflicting reserved words that may be causing the 1064 syntax error.

Please see MySQL Reserved Words 5.6 for more information on reserved words.
