Trying to Run a SQL script file, Getting Syntax error : Incorrect syntax near '`'

June 23, 2022

I’m trying to execute a SQL script dump file which have multiple tables. I want to read data from this dump file and make a sqlite(offline) database.
I’m using following SMO procedures and code is following

string sqlConnectionString = @"Server=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Database=master;Trusted_Connection=True;";
            FileInfo file = new FileInfo("podcat-22-06-2022.sql");
            string script = file.OpenText().ReadToEnd();
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(sqlConnectionString);
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(script, conn);
            conn.Open();
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            conn.Close();

Following is first table script of sql file

-- MySQL dump 10.16  Distrib 10.1.21-MariaDB, for Win32 (AMD64)
--
-- Host: localhost    Database: localhost
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version   10.1.21-MariaDB

/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=@@COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */;
/*!40103 SET @OLD_TIME_ZONE=@@TIME_ZONE */;
/*!40103 SET TIME_ZONE='+00:00' */;
/*!40014 SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0 */;
/*!40014 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0 */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO' */;
/*!40111 SET @OLD_SQL_NOTES=@@SQL_NOTES, SQL_NOTES=0 */;

--
-- Current Database: `podcat`
--

CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ `podcat` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */;

USE `podcat`;

--
-- Table structure for table `label_fields`
--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `label_fields`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `label_fields` (
  `lable_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `label_name` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  `p-t-id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `status` enum('Y','N') NOT NULL,
  `sort_order` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`lable_id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `lable_id` (`lable_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=485 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;

database is big so i suppose i dont need to post all of it.

im getting following exception

What I’m gathering from this information is SQL script is different version maybe older than execution method I’m following. cause I don’t think SQL script could be wrong because its been used here as a backup… but I may be wrong as said earlier im new to sql stuff. So Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. Thanks
