Hi alvaroadair,
Look the content you shared, i see you missing the chars `--` at before the texts `phpMyAdmin SQL Dump`.

Hi alvaroadair,
To solve the issue as you mentioned, Before import to the new database instance, let’s add below sql lines in the head content of the sql file you have exported:
SET SQL_MODE = "NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO";
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
And re-import the sql file after your changing.

Mall.
Hi Alvaroadair,
As Mall suggested, you can enter the code into the top of your SQL file (the file you exported from your localhost instance).
Once done, you import this modified SQL file to your live server.
Hope that helps.

I inserted the code and I am getting this error from the outset:
SQL query:
phpMyAdmin SQL Dump

Hi alvaroadair,
I need a closer look to detect the root of issue as you said. Can you provide me your sql file?

Mall.
--phpMyAdmin SQL Dump -- already had — before it, I added another 2 (—-) and that did the trick.
—-phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
Thanks
I managed to import the database by adding SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS= “0”; do in need to change anything after the database has been imported?
Hi alvaroadair ,
After imported your database successfully. Let’s run more below SQL command in your database:
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;

Mall.
Hi Mall,
Tried that -- MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0000 seconds.)
Hi guy,
The message should be as this: http://i.prntscr.com/111deeeb08ad41209426144d9e74feb3.png

Hi Mall, as I was copying and pasting the query MySQL was not happy with that hence the reason it did not update it, after typing it worked a treat, thanks for ALL your help. SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;
Hi alvaroadair,
Great to hear that sound. Let’s contact me if you need further assistance!
Regards,
Mall.
I will, Thank you.
