MySQL error: 1064 while importing a database

Question

I have exported a database from MySQL version 5.5.40, but when I am importing it to MySQL 5.5.44 I get an error regarding the syntax.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `key_value` (
  `collection` varchar(128) CHARACTER SET ascii NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'A named collection of key and value pairs.'
`value` longblob NOT NULL COMMENT 'The value.',
  PRIMARY KEY (`collection`,`name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COMMENT='Generic key-value storage table. See the state system for…';

The error received is:

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 '`value` longblob NOT NULL COMMENT 'The value.',
  PRIMARY KEY (`collection`,`nam' at line 3

Please suggest.

Answer 1

The solution, per this comment in the drupal.org issue queue , is this:

Change this:

CREATE TABLE ``key_value`` ( ``collection`` varchar(128) CHARACTER SET ascii NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'A named collection of key and value pairs.' ``value`` longblob NOT NULL COMMENT 'The value.', PRIMARY KEY (``collection``,``name``) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Generic key-value storage table. See the state system for…'

to this:

CREATE TABLE ``key_value`` ( ``collection`` varchar(128) CHARACTER SET ascii NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'A named collection of key and value pairs.', ``name`` varchar(128) CHARACTER SET ascii NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'The key of the key-value pair. As KEY is a SQL reserved keyword, name was chosen instead.', ``value`` longblob NOT NULL COMMENT 'The value.', PRIMARY KEY (``collection``,``name``) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Generic key-value storage table. See the state system for';

then remove this near the end to prevent another error:

ALTER TABLE ``key_value`` ADD ``name`` varchar(128) CHARACTER SET ascii NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'The key of the key-value pair. As KEY is a SQL reserved keyword, name was chosen instead.';

Answer 2

There is no name column in your table but you are creating your primary key with combination of PRIMARY KEY ( collection , name ). So just remove name and try.

Also add ',' after collection column and before value column as suggested by Khalid.

Finally you can use -

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `key_value` (
  `collection` VARCHAR(128) CHARACTER SET ASCII NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'A named collection of key and value pairs.',
`value` LONGBLOB NOT NULL COMMENT 'The value.',
  PRIMARY KEY (`collection`)
) ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COMMENT='Generic key-value storage table. See the state system for…';
