I use mysqldump to dump my databases to file. I then write these files to tape.
I was doing a test restore to a test server this weekend and found that for my largest database, I cannot restore from this file. I use mysql < backup.script It runs for a long time and creates most of the tables, but eventually comes up with a syntax error and stops processing the file. I have two questions: How do I get around this ? The error message is: ERROR 1064 at line 78631: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that c om:vml\"\r\nxmlns:o=\"u This data is xml data stored in one of the fields. If mysqldump created the syntax surely it should process back in correctly ? There's no way I can edit 2GB of incorrect entries in order to correct them. Secondly, how can I make the restore more fault tolerant ? If one call fails to continue with the next one ?
