When im importing database using bigdump im getting error

Error at the line 3004: SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client;


Query: SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client;


MySQL: Variable 'character_set_client' can't be set to the value of 'NULL'

can someone suggest me how to correct this error

Import your database from shell something like this: mysql -u user name -p db_name < location to mysql dump on the disk.
