The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

Database import failed - now installation problems

I imported a database (sql file) into a newly created database.

The import ended in a timeout error. This was rather curious. Previous imports of similar or even bigger databases went without a problem. The sql file was just 78 MB and the timeout 3600 seconds on a new and fast notebook.

But now comes the really curious part. Normally when I have a timeout half the tables are imported and the other half not. In this case not a single table had been created. Yet when I tried to import again I got the "table already exists" error.

So I tried to delete the database. And then I created again a database. First with the same name and then with another. But whatever I tried - I am no longer able to import data and I kept getting the "table already exists" error.

What is going on? And how do I get out of this?

Solved. There were some strange settings.
