I have a mysql 8.0 that I exported using mysqldump. I am trying to import it onto a Mariadb 10.4 database with phpmyadmin, both are the most current versions. Each time I do it though, I get:

Error: Unknown collation utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci

Then I went back into the sql file and replaced utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci with utf8mb4_general_ci, but then it says there are errors with various CREATE VIEW sql statements. Are there any other quick, error free fixes I can try?

  • The fix(es) would be quicker in coming if you provide the SHOW CREATE VIEW. MySQL 8 has a lot of enhancements that may not transfer to MariaDB. I would recommend utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci as being a compromise between 'general' and '0900'. – Rick James Sep 17 '19 at 0:49
  • If the keyword VISIBLE shows up as an error, simply remove it. – Rick James Sep 17 '19 at 0:50
  • Another thing to try - may or may not work - is using MariaDB's mysqldump to create the SQL dump file. – dbdemon Sep 17 '19 at 10:40
  • Worked for me too @RickJames thank you! – Yannis P. Sep 19 at 10:37
