What is the first line in your backup1.sql file? As the 1064 error is a
parse error there might be some strange data there...

I'm not sure but I tought it was not neccesarry to specify the database
name as this should be specified in the dump file.

Does your root user have a password, did you specify it either by
command line or when prompted using the -p option?

Actually the sql backup was created by TIkiwiki using the create
backup option.
The contents were in encrypted format.so i cant understand whats in it.
Then there is no root password for the database.

Thanks for your Reply.

Hi All,
i ended with my question.it seems the sql backup created by
Tikiwiki is not compatible.When i used usual mysqldump command to take
backup ,the restoration went fine without any problem.
