Import Attachment fails* ImpEx Database errormysql error...
 

I've started fresh* importing from a phpbb 2 forum with Impex. Each step has gone smoothly on the import modules* until the Attachments.

It runs through about 60+ attachments* and then gets to a .wmv file @ 800 kb in size* and then I see this error:

66.67% Attachment -> poison_spider_2.jpg
66.67% Attachment -> poison_spider_1.jpg
66.67% Attachment -> bumper.wmv

There seems to have been a problem with the database.

I've been able to import these attachments previously. I decided to start over because of an unrelated issue.

This happened the first time* I assumed it was because certain attachments were too big* so I removed them from the source files. The imports then proceeded perfectly. This recent .wmv attachment was able to import previously.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
