Hi Carlos.

Check your SQL file that you're importing to ensure it doesn't have any lines at the beginning which aren't SQL. By the looks of it, line 1 has some descriptor text rather than SQL.

Thanks Mark for your answer; how do I edit, with just notepad? or do I need a special tool? because when I opened with Notepad many weird characters appeared, so I decided not to edit because might cause file corruption.

What should I do?
