I`m trying to import an SMF forums database. I`m using phpmyadmin as the file is rather small in size, at around 2mb.
Problem is, the dump was created using mysql version 4.1.16-standard and the server I`m trying to import to is using an older version 4.0.25-standard. Naturally it`s causing problems, with syntax errors probably because of the charset differences.
Now, I guess I could install a new SMF forum, and just run queries by pasting in the `INSERT INTO` portions only, but surely there`s an easier way to make the database compatible so I can import in one go? I also have another database to move, but again I can`t because of the syntax problems. It`s a pain going through the file and running queries!
just delete the parts at the end of the table definitions that sepcify the charset. also, you will have to change where is says engine= to type= (or the other way around if i'm thinking about this backwards).
