Category:	MySQL Utilities	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	mysqldbcopy version 1.2.0 - MySQL Workb	OS:	Linux (Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP)

Description:
When I tried to copy a database from linux server k13 to linux server k14, I received the following error:

ERROR: Problem inserting data. Error = Query failed. 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'hybrid, A,B, NULL),  ('101D', '1', polydeoxyribonucleotide, A,B, NULL),  ('101M'' at line 1

FYI, I don't have any problem when loading the original data file directly to a table on server k13 or server k14. See attached data file. 

How to repeat:
1. create the table

create table entity_poly
(
 id        		char(5)    not null,
 entity_id 		char(10)   not null,
 entity_type 		varchar(80)   not null,
 identical_chain_id  	varchar(5000)   not null, 
 sequence  	     	text
);

create unique index Ientity_poly on entity_poly
(
  id,
  entity_id
);

2. Load data file to table entity_poly:
load data infile "/entity-poly-data.tdd"     IGNORE into table entity_poly FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'  LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 LINES;

3. Use mysqldbcopy to copy the table to a different server

Hello Wendy,

Thank you for the report.
I can not repeat described behavior on 1.3.1/1.2.1.. Could you please try on latest version?

Thanks for your feedback. I have to ask our system admin to upgrade to the latest version of 1.3.1 and test again. If you know a quick way to upgrade, let me know.

Thanks,

You can just download and untar somewhere(no need to overwrite etc) and use - You can download from  http://downloads.mysql.com/
