Hi i am uploading a database to a newer version of mysql than where it was originally hosted.
My problem is it is giving me syntax errors. Is there a way for me to be able to sort this out so it will upload succesfully. I am no expert at all on db's so any help is appreciated on this

Sounds like you have something wrong in the database flat file.
Can you paste this file or is it sensitive info?
Could be something as silly as a ' in the wrong spot.

The syntax of MySQL commands changed from 4.0.x to 4.1.x, so that's probably the problem. You can use a text-editor's Replace feature to fix the commands in the .sql file.

I've also found similar problems exist if you've dumped the file out to an .sql file using one version of phpmyadmin and are trying to import it using a new version of phpmyadmin. If it's still not working, open up the sql file and try doing addin the file chunk by chunk to the sql query window of phpmyadmin.
Hope that helps!

A common error is Default ''; or Default '0'; fix is to remove the default bit
