+    <b>[3.4] I am unable to import dumps I created with the mysqldump tool
+       bundled with the MySQL server distribution.</b>
+    <br />
+    The problem is that mysqldump creates invalid comments like this:<br />
+    <blockquote><tt>
+        -- MySQL dump 8.22<br />
+        --<br />
+        -- Host: localhost Database: database<br />
+        ---------------------------------------------------------<br />
+        -- Server version 3.23.54<br />
+    </tt></blockquote>
+    The invalid part of the code is the horizontal line made of dashes that
+    appears once in every dump created with mysqldump. If you want to run your
+    dump you have to turn it into valid MySQL. This means, you have to add a
+    whitespace after the first to dashes of the line or add a # before it:<br/>
+    <tt>
+        -- -------------------------------------------------------<br />
+    </tt>
+    or<br />
+    <tt>
+        #---------------------------------------------------------
+    </tt>
