 * I am receiving the following error when trying to import a sql file from PhpAdmin:
 * Error
    SQL query:
 * —
    — Dumping data for table `wp_avhec_category_groups` — INSERT INTO `wp_avhec_category_groups`(`
   group_term_id` , `term_id` ) VALUES ( 10, 3 ) , ( 10, 7 ) ;
 * MySQL said:
 * #1062 – Duplicate entry ’10-3′ for key 1
 * The file was provided by a previous host where the site used to be hosted. Would
   rather they have used the backup plug in for WP but this is all I got.
 * Can anyone shed some light on this?

 * HI
 * group_term_id 10 , term_id 3
 * already exits in wp_avhec_category_groups
 * empty the file completely (!!! if that is what you want) before you add the new
   content
