I am having a devil of a time moving a database from one server to another. My database is one that is in production to support the mediawiki wiki application. This is a Solaris Sparc 10 system using the mysql-max-5.0.20a-solaris10-sparc version. My database name is horsewiki.

I execute this:
# mysqldump --user root --password=password horsewiki > horsewiki.sql
and get this:
mysqldump: Got error: 1146: Table 'horsewiki.archive' doesn't exist when using LOCK TABLES

I have tried using phpMyAdmin-2.9.0.2. It seems to let me export the database to an SQL file. When I attempt to import it on the other system, I get this:

Error

There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem

I have not found a good source to understand what the problem might be. It does not help that I am such a greenhorn with databases either. I would appreciate any assistance.
