0.92 upgrade only mysql update fails

[Palamedes]

When attempting to use either the SOURCE or the shell method of db update as provided here;
http://www.mysqlfaqs.net/mysql-faqs/Client-Server-Commands/How-to-run-SQL-script-files-in-mysql-client

the update sql script fails at both the --server line and the set @block_id line.

ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 '--server

Hello.
Sorry for delay.

i have tried to upgrade db on my ubuntu linux and all fine.
First of all check this dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/batch-mode.html

you have to:
1 replace db prefix from table names by yours
2. remove all comments from sql (i dont' know why, but different mysql-server versions work strange with it)
3. run in shell
user@user> mysql -D your_database_name -u username -p password < abantecart_database_upgrade.sql
