• I am using Nefirms to host my site. I exported my MYSQL database from my site. I opened a new netfirms account and installed wordpress. I then tried to import my old database, that is a .sql file, into the one that was created when i installed wordpress. I get the same errors everytime:

    Error

    SQL-query :
