Finally returned to my hobby website, www.StreetlightSite.com, after like years of neglect. That site is totally driven by data stored on a MySQL database server and my extremely budget hosting plan hasn't had an update done to that server since around when I last updated any data on it. Suffice to say when I renewed my own localhost virtual server to do update development work on, I needed to start downloading regular database back ups again.
Well, I'd been so out of it with MySQL I kind of forgot what I needed to do. Thought it would be as easy as exporting the whole shebang from one and importing into the other.
WRONG!
Kept getting the wonderful MySQL error 1024 syntax error where TYPE=InnoDB. Well, I was just about to stick a TYPE up MySQL's InnoDB when I thankfully discovered that my virtual server's MySQL 5.6 is virulently WORDIST! It is prejudiced against the word TYPE. Only native born, full blooded ENGINEs are allowed.
Bottom line? Just replaced TYPE= with ENGINE= and order was restored to the universe.
