MySQL said: Documentation
#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 ‘

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_categories‘ at line 1
blockquote

NOW, it seems as though we have a syntax error, but a search in the .sql file doesn’t return the problem characters. What can I do?
