I am not trying to use 1.4 script to talk to 1.5 database. And I know the schemas has changed. Let me put it clearly, I installed mediawiki 1.4 and the result was creation of a database (wikidb) with the tables as per the 1.4 schema. Now I downloaded the pages_full.xml.bz2 from the web (17 gig file). And I want to import it.
Option 1: importdump.php - not possible as it is not there in 1.4 mediawiki Option 2: mwdumper - problem error : Error 1146(42SO2) at line 31 : Table 'wikidb.old' does not exist
After that it continues to import the pages..it does not stop.
My worry is, if that error can screw up things.

You can't use 1.4 scripts to talk to a 1.5 database. The schema has changed quite dramatically between the two versions. Indeed, the "old" table _doesn't_ exist in 1.5 onwards.

All the tables are there as created during the mediawiki installation. But it never creates something called wikidb.old ! As i said i have done the importing using importdump.php with mediawiki 1.5. Even then there was no wikidb.old. Did someone try mwdumper as yet ? Did anyone import dump to mediawiki 1.4. If yes what did you use ?

Perhaps you didn't create the tables first?
