Unable to import MySQL dump


Hi guys,
I've got this big problem at work - nobody here is really a database expert at the moment. We are basically dumping stuff from this old server and are migrating data into the new one. I can't seem to be able to import the MySQL-server data that was previously dumped.

For dumping, I used the usual

mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > dump.sql

After copying it over to the new server with scp, on the new server I tried to import it with.

mysql -u root -p < dump.sql

The import started and several databases got properly imported but at one point it failed on me and the import stopped with following error:

Code:
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 246: 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 '/
/*!50003 CREATE TRIGGER `nyposttillftimalbeskrivning` AFTER INSERT ON `malbesk' at line 1
If I export all other databases that I need and import them seperately, it will work - only this one in particular is making me problems because of - well, whatever it means, the stated above in the error message.

The original server that the dump was created from is MySQL 5.0.13-rc-max. The import was intended for the most recent 5.1. I even went down to the latest 5.0.x version (.67) and try to import it from there - always same failure.

I would appreciate if you could guys help me out with the tips...
Thanks in advance...

To start with I'd use vim or more to go through the broken file and pull out the complete 'create trigger...' statement.
Use a a separate file for each DB/schema, so it's not so big.
You can then post that here, but you might get a faster answer at the mysql forums http://forums.mysql.com/
I also strongly recommend you bookmark this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/index.html
