';' in comments (i.e. lines starting with '--') in sql/mymodel.sql causes error in syncdb

[alainD]

for instance the following script :

INSERT INTO "app_model" ("col1", "col2") VALUES (45, 107);
--INSERT INTO "app_model" ("col1", "col2") VALUES (45, 107);
INSERT INTO "app_model" ("col1", "col2") VALUES (45, 107);

causes an error while importing it via syncdb ... because of the commented line (starting with '--')

This is not a Django problem. If you're using MySQL it's actually a ​MySQL quirk:

In MySQL, the “-- ” (double-dash) comment style requires the second dash
to be followed by at least one whitespace or control character (such as
a space, tab, newline, and so on). This syntax differs slightly from 
standard SQL comment syntax
