Problem in DB Import

[waqasmgl]

Hi all,

I m having trouble in importing a sql file.
I m using MySql 5.1.36.
Using WAMP Server Version 2
phpMyAdmin version 3.2.0.1

Following error was displayed by phpMyAdmin

#1064 - 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 'U' at line 1
 
U�S�E� �[�I�U�A�O�S�]�
 
G�O�
 
S�E�T� �A�N�S�I�_�N�U�L�L�S� �O�N�
 
G�O�

I m attaching the file also.

PS: I m not sure what version is the sql file of and also dont know about the program. Probably MySql.
I have tried all compatibility options available in phpMyAdmin and the error remains same.

Edit: After checking the bak file i found that the database software was Microsoft Sql Server. Please provide directions.

Thanx

@waqasmql,

You have a sticky wicket.

I don't know if MySQL has any tools for importing SQL formatted in uSoft's lovely non-standard format.

Perhaps there's a third party conversion program?

If you're only interested in importing the table structure, you should be able to do a relatively quick hand translation of that mess. [Then hoist a scotch and say relive the memories of the pain forever.]

I didn't see any INSERTS in the file, so I assume that there are no data to translate. That's a good thing.

As for the display forms, they're going to be lost to you, unless you find a third party translator that builds something useful from them.

Hopefully that helps a little.
