I have Version 8 demo project with me. I am trying to import the demo project SQL tables into my MySQL, Using MySQL Version 8.0 Workbench.

During Import i get the Error as attached

 ![MySql Workbench Error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/3/a39fb8e4aa381bc6c1ce76780830373fb50a2079.png)

Most of the tables have been Imported into MySQL, however i believe there might an error on the particular line in that SQL text file which I have.

Sounds like the issue is with either the size of the import or the time it takes, and the limits for either being set too low.
