--apologies if you receive this email from another account-- hi,

Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'collate +latin1_bin NOT NULL default '', `cur_text` mediumtext //<--------------------------------------------------------- as i know very little about mysql generally, i'm having a hard time deriving what the right syntax might be here. out of interest the same *.sql imports on the local system just fine using mysql on the commandline ('mysql -u <user> -p <database> < file.sql'), but on the remote machine fails with the same error as seen above. if someone could point me in the right direction i'd be very grateful. cheers, julian -- julian oliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
