I am moving a MySQL database from a now inaccessible server to a new one. The dump contains tables which in turn contain binary blobs, which seems to cause trouble with the MySQL command line client. When trying to restore the database, I get the following error:

```
ERROR at line 694: Unknown command '\''.

```

I inspected the line at which the error is occurring and found that it is a huge insert statement (approx. 900k characters in length) which seems to insert binary blobs into a table.

Now, I have found [these](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14167227/on-mysql-import-error-at-line-32769-unknown-command) [two](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5888589/mysql-error-at-line-1153-unknown-command) questions that seem to be connected to mine. However, both answers proved to not solve my issue. Adding `--default-character-set=utf8` or even `--default-caracter-set=latin1` didn't change anything and creating a dump with `--hex-dump` is not possible because the source database server is no longer accessible.

Is there any way how I can restore this backup via the MySQL command line client? If yes, what do I need to do?

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I am using MySQL 5.6.35. Also, in addition to the attempts outlined above, I have already tried increasing the `max_allowed_packet` system variable to its maximum value - on both server and client - but to no avail.
