Error importing Database

  • Hi I’m doing a manual migration and when I ty and import my exported SQL file into my new database I get the following error..

    Error
SQL query:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS <code>wplmlet_commentmeta</code> (
  <code>meta_id</code> bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  <code>comment_id</code> bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  <code>meta_key</code> varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  <code>meta_value</code> longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci,
  PRIMARY KEY (<code>meta_id</code>),
  KEY <code>comment_id</code> (<code>comment_id</code>),
  KEY <code>meta_key</code> (<code>meta_key</code>(191))
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=1
MySQL said: Documentation

#1273 - Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'

    Does this mean anything to anyone and can anyone please help?

    I’m importing it into a PLESK Linux environment if that matters…

    The dev site it has come from is working fine.

    Thanks!

  • Although I’m no MySQL expert, have you tried this solution on StackOverflow, it should resolve the issue you’re having?

    Hope this helps.

    I think what is going on here is that you maybe coming from a different mysql version and the new hosting service maybe running an older version of mysql is what I am suspecting. In my past experience I had to do a search and replace for utf8mb4_unicode_ci and you can try to replace it with utf8mb4_general_ci. That has worked for me before I would try that. Let me know if this helps, I hope it does.

    thanks for the suggestions, you both seem to be mentioning the same thing so looks right. Will give it a whirl later and report back

    Hi, so I have tried the search and replace method and checked the collation matched before import. Gets further than last time then I get this error:

    should I just go throuhg the DB in text edit and find any instance of utf8_unicode_520_ci and any variation and just change them all to utf8_general_ci do you think?

    Yup that’s exactly why you want to do

    tried my idea above and got a bit further then other errors…

    I would have to look at the whole database in a text editor do you have a back up?

    Only other thing I could think of would be go to those lines and see if there is a duplicate character or if that table is a table that’s generated by a plug in drop it for now and have the plugin regenerate it. I wouldn’t proceed without a back up

    Thanks for your reply. I do have a backup yes. I have no idea what i’m looking for though. Would you mind taking a look please?
