I have a project sent to me by a friend and i am having serious issues importing the database into my WAMP Server. I end up getting Mysql error
Error
SQL query:
--
-- Database: `drivers_endorsements`
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `admin`
--
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `admin` (
`admin_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`username` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(12) NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(40) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3

#1046 - No database selected
Firstly you have to create database manually or select the existing one in phpmyadmin (as mentioned WAMP server is used ) and then import the .sql file in it, and the database name should be same as that of used in application else will not work with desired application to which the database is linked.
It's not really a big deal! The message itself is self-explanatory. You need to select an existing database first & then try your import.
Or you could possibly add the following at the very top of your DB script that you trying to import -
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS drivers_endorsements;
USE drivers_endorsements;

Trying to import a MySQL database using PHP-Admin. When I try to import the file backed-up by my host, I get this error message:
SQL query:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `wp_commentmeta`

#1046 - No database selected
I have also tried to export the database myself, then trying to import that specific file. When I do that, however, I get a completely different error message:
SQL query:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_commentmeta` (
`meta_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
`comment_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`meta_key` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL,
`meta_value` longtext COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

What can I do to resolve this?
You need to USE a database. You could edit your file and add the line at the top, something like:
USE databasename;
Some tools will let you set a default database when restoring from backup. If you haven't selected one that could be a problem.
If you haven't created a database you'll need to do that first.
You need to select which database you are importing to in your SQL. Your first statement should be:
USE DATABASE `db_name`;
You have no database selected.
Find which databases exist
SHOW DATABASES:
and then select one for use
USE `database_name`
You say that you are importing into a new host, so I would assume that you do not already have a database created;
CREATE DATABASE `database_name`
Now you can USE that database you just created; and your queries should now work.
I downloaded a MySQL backup file and promptly imported into MAMP's phpMyAdmin. I got this
return:

I did not alter the .sql file at all. Any hints on how i can get this puppy going locally?
Thanks!
Just create a database with some name first of all. Click on that database and then import your table. The problem here is when you import any table it looks for which database you are using. So, either do as I said above or add this just above CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS columns_priv (
USE your_db_name;//here your_db_name is the database you just created.
That's it.
In phpMyAdmin make a new database or select a existed database. Then import the SQL file.
Normally Exported sql Script does not have create database syntax. So you should create a database and use manually
or
Include below lines into your first line of the sql script.
create database database_name;
use database_name;
Note : If database already exists then you only include second statement.
Now you can import without Error.
Create the database and in the sql file that you are importing add this
USE db_name;
You need to create and/or select the database on your sandbox machine before importing the SQL for the table structure and data.
In phpMyAdmin, this means choosing a database from the sidebar and then using its import tab. If the database you want to fill doesn't exist, you have to create it first using the Create new database form.
After import, you should confirm that the export-import process hasn't affected the anonymous user record (uid 0).

If the DB is exported from sql with phpmyadmin, you should use custom method. And chose
include a timestamp of when databases were created,last updated,and
last checked
this sql will contains
create database database_name; use database_name;
you just have to use USE db_name; at the starting of Sql code file which you exported and the problem will be resolved
I'm trying to import a SQL dump to another server. It fails on the first line. I'm first creating the exp_actions table and then inserting a bunch of data into it, but I get this really weird error.
SQL query:
--
-- Database: `ee_cmssite`
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `exp_actions`
--
CREATE TABLE `exp_actions` (
`action_id` INT( 4 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`class` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`method` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY ( `action_id` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT =21;

#1146 - Table 'site_ee.exp_actions' doesn't exist
Why doesn't it exist? I just instructed it to be created. I'm completely baffled. I've tried with and without IF_NOT_EXISTS
If anyone else comes across this seemingly bizarre error - see https://stackoverflow.com/a/11696069 for the solution.
I had the same symptoms and the cause was the same - moving to a new machine I took the old short-cut of simply copying the databases from the mysql/data directory that I needed directly into the new machine, however some were newer InnoDb types. This causes the Create Table throws table doesn't exist error. I had to drop the database and recreate it, then import from an sql dump.
According to the SQL script, the table exists in another database:
--
-- Database: ee_cmssite
-- --------------------------------------------------------
-- Table structure for table exp_actions
try to use ee_cmssite database instead.
While the error is not clear, I think this is related to the missing USE at the beginning of the file. mysqldump doesn't add a USE statement when you dump a single db. So you should add:
USE `ee_cmssite`;
I am trying to import the SQL database from my Drupal production site into a sandbox testing site on my local machine. I currently use XAMPP on my machine here at work.
I have downloaded my db aipiadxxm_if9DHdr.sql and then I go to the phpMyAdmin on http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php then to -> Import.
After I import the db I get this Error:
SQL query:

I am using the Zymic Database Uploader v1.1 to upload my XAMPP/MySQL database to zymic database.
I followed the instruction carefully until I got this error.
Error at the line 27: ) ENGINE=MEMORY DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci MAX_ROWS=15000;
Query: CREATE TABLE `bmf_chatting` (
`usr_id` int(11) NOT NULL,

`timestamp` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MEMORY DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci MAX_ROWS=15000;
MySQL: Table 'bmf_chatting' already exists
This happened while I was Processing/Importing the database into Zymic but it stopped on error. I have no database yet in my zymic and I have no duplicate table 'bmf_chatting'.
I thought it will be a simple export/import. :(
Check your dump file, if this table didn't get exported twice for whatever reason.
Also make sure, to drop all tables (and maybe the entire database) before you retry with you import. Whatever tables are created above this one, have already been created.
It sounds like you had a table called bmf_chatting in MySQL before and it was improperly deleted (the files were probably deleted without dropping the database).
Try running a drop database query before your create query.
