Mysql ERROR: ASCII '\0' while importing sql file on linux server

Question

I am getting following error while importing sql file

ERROR: ASCII \'\\0\' appeared in the statement, but this is not allowed unless option --binary-mode is         


        

Answer 1

Try something like :

mysql -u root -p -h localhost -D database --binary-mode -o < dump.sql

and make sure your sql file is not zipped.
