Q: Why do I get errors importing my database into a new database?

A: Probably the most common problem is a result of the way you exported your database.
Make sure that if you have the option “Use Backticks” or something similar in your MySQL GUI you select that option. What it does is enclose table/field names and data in backticks. This prevents these items from being confused as SQL operators.
