As you can see, it is clearly showing up but I cannot do anything with it.

Michael, is the 'archive' table present in your database?  e.g., if
you do a 'LIST TABLES', does it show up?  What happens if you do a
"SELECT * FROM archive LIMIT 1" ?

I'd hazard a guess that you may have a table definition file with no
actual table data files, if you're on MyISAM tables.

If you don't need the archive table, can you DROP it successfully?

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:

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.
