MySQL ERROR 1064 (42000) importing OpenGeoDB

I want to import the OpenGeoDB into a database on my Debian VM with MySQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.17:

$ mysql -uroot -p -h localhost geodb < opengeodb-begin.sql

It fails with the error

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 14: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8' at line 6

The MySQL code around the line 6 in the opengeodb-begin.sql from the OpenGeoDB download area looks like:

/*
 * MySQL
 */



SET NAMES 'utf8';

BEGIN;
/*
 * Table structure for table 'geodb_type_names'
 */

create table geodb_type_names (
  type_id              integer not null,
  type_locale          varchar(5) not null,
  name                 varchar(255) not null,             /* varchar(500)? */
unique (type_id, type_locale)
) TYPE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8;

So, the DB server seems to have a problem with TYPE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8;.

At the same time it works on my remote Ubuntu server with MySQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.41.

The only significant difference I see is the MySQL version.

What can cause the error?

OK, it seems really to be so, that the problem is the database server version. The keyword TYPE is not supported anymore and was replaced with ENGINE.

I replaced all TYPE=... with ENGINE=... in CREATE statements like

create table geodb_type_names (
  type_id              integer not null,
  type_locale          varchar(5) not null,
  name                 varchar(255) not null,             /* varchar(500)? */
unique (type_id, type_locale)
) ENGINE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8;

Now it works.
