How to skip row when importing bad MySQL dump

Question

Given bad mysqldump that causes error on import:

namtar backups # mysql -p < 2010-12-01.sql
Enter password: 
ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 8020:         


        

Answer 1

If you can make the dump again you could add --insert-ignore to the command-line when dumping.

Or you can try using the mysqlimport command with --force,which will continue even if it encounters MySQL Errors.
