MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '--DROP TABLE IF EXISTS trans' at line 5
@imoldovavan - What version of MariaDB are you using?
MariaDB 10.4.28
XAMPP Version: 8.2.4
@imoldovavan I can't immediately reproduce an SQL error that your showing above. Is this when you're loading the database for the first time? MariaDB 10.4 is obsolete; can you use a newer version? I don't use XAMPP so I don't know what your options are.
You must remove the "--" , you can find this "error" also on all the other Drop Table inside the sql file.
The -- is there on purpose because in most cases you don't want to drop the existing tables because they presumably have data in them. However the original error as reported is that @imoldovavan server is saying that -- is an invalid command itself which it isn't.
Can't reproduce
