hello all

we are trying to migrate our gitbucket from local H2 to mysql 8.0.20.0
after creating a new empty mysql database and booting up gitbucket admin web console when i am trying to import the .sql backup file i keep getting the following error:
"java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: (conn=17) Query was empty"

when trying to import the .sql backup file mnualy i get this error:
"mysql: Unknown OS character set 'cp862'.
mysql: Switching to the default character set 'utf8mb4'.
ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'gitbucket.watch' doesn't exist"

I'm getting the same issue.
I install fresh gitbucket with mySQL on Ubuntu 20.04, create a test repo, export gitbucket and try to import. Then I get the
"java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: (conn=17) Query was empty" error.

Setup is as described in these:
