need some help here.
You need to tell MySQL which database to use:
USE database_name;
before you create a table.
In case the database does not exist, you need to create it as:
CREATE DATABASE database_name;
followed by:
USE database_name;
You can also tell MySQL what database to use (if you have it created already):
mysql -u example_user -p --database=example < ./example.sql
I faced the same error when I tried to import a database created from before. Here is what I did to fix this issue:
1- Create new database
2- Use it by use command
3- Try again
This works for me.
If you're trying to do this via the command line...
If you're trying to run the CREATE TABLE statement from the command line interface, you need to specify the database you're working in before executing the query:
USE your_database;
Here's the documentation.
If you're trying to do this via MySQL Workbench...
...you need to select the appropriate database/catalog in the drop down menu found above the :Object Browser: tab. You can specify the default schema/database/catalog for the connection - click the "Manage Connections" options under the SQL Development heading of the Workbench splash screen.
Addendum
This all assumes there's a database you want to create the table inside of - if not, you need to create the database before anything else:
CREATE DATABASE your_database;
If you are doing this through phpMyAdmin:
I'm assuming you already Created a new MySQL Database on Live Site (by live site I mean the company your hosting with (in my case Bluehost)).
Go to phpMyAdmin on live site - log in to the database you just created.
Now IMPORTANT! Before clicking the "import" option on the top bar, select your database on the left side of the page (grey bar, on the top has PHP Myadmin written, below it two options:information_schema and name of database you just logged into.
once you click the database you just created/logged into it will show you that database and then click the import option.
That did the trick for me. Really hope that helps
For MySQL Workbench
Select database from Schemas tab by right mouse clicking.
Set database as Default Schema
Edit your SQL file using Notepad or Notepad++
add the following 2 line:
CREATE DATABASE NAME;
USE NAME;
Assuming you are using the command line:
1. Find Database
show databases;
2. Select a database from the list
e.g. USE classicmodels; and you should be off to the races! (Obviously, you'll have to use the correctly named database in your list.
Why is this error occurring?
Mysql requires you to select the particular database you are working on. I presume it is a design decision they made: it avoids a lot of potential problems: e.g. it is entirely possible, for you to use the same table names across multiple databases e.g. a users table. In order to avoid these types of issues, they probably thought: "let's make users select the database they want".
If importing a database, you need to create one first with the same name, then select it and then IMPORT the existing database to it.
Hope it works for you!
be careful about blank passwords
mysqldump [options] -p '' --databases database_name
will ask for a password and complain with mysqldump: Got error: 1046: "No database selected" when selecting the database
the problem is that the -p option requires that there be no space between -p and the password.
mysqldump [options] -p'' --databases database_name
solved the problem (quotes are not needed anymore).
Check you have created the database first which you want.
If you have not created the dataBase you have to fire this query:
CREATE DATABASE data_base_name
If you have already created the database then you can simply fire this query and you will be able to create table on your database:
CREATE TABLE `data_base_name`.`table_name` (
_id int not null,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Age int,
PRIMARY KEY (_id)
);
Solution with an Example
Error 1046 occurs when we miss to connect our table with a database. In this case, we don't have any database and that’s why at first we will create a new database and then will instruct to use that database for the created table.
# At first you have to create Database
CREATE DATABASE student_sql;
# Next, specify the database to use
USE student_sql;
# Demo: create a table
CREATE TABLE student_table(
student_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(20),
major VARCHAR(20)
);
# Describe the table
describe student_table;

"If importing a database, you need to create one first with the same name, then select it and then IMPORT the existing database to it.
Hope it works for you!"
These are the steps:
Create a Database, for instance my_db1, utf8_general_ci.
Then click to go inside this database.
Then click "import", and select the database: my_db1.sql
That should be all.
first select database : USE db_name
then creat table:CREATE TABLE tb_name
(
id int,
name varchar(255),
salary int,
city varchar(255)
);

I'm late i think :] soory,
If you are here like me searching for the solution when this error occurs with mysqldump instead of mysql, try this solution that i found on a german website out there by chance, so i wanted to share with homeless people who got headaches like me.
So the problem occurs because the lack -databases parameter before the database name
So your command must look like this:
mysqldump -pdbpass -udbuser --databases dbname
Another cause of the problem in my case was that i'm developping on local and the root user doesn't have a password, so in this case you must use --password= instead of -pdbpass, so my final command was:
mysqldump -udbuser --password= --databases dbname
Link to the complete thread (in German) : https://marius.bloggt-in-braunschweig.de/2016/04/29/solution-mysqldump-no-database-selected-when-selecting-the-database/
In Amazon RDS, merely writing use my-favorite-database does not work if that database's name includes dashes. Furthermore, none of the following work, either:
use "my-favorite-database"
use `my-favorite-database`
use 'my-favorite-database'
Just click the "Change Database" button, select the desired database, and voilà.
Although this is a pretty old thread, I just found something out. I created a new database, then added a user, and finally went to use phpMyAdmin to upload the .sql file. total failure. The system doesn't recognize which DB I'm aiming at...
When I start fresh WITHOUT first attaching a new user, and then perform the same phpMyAdmin import, it works fine.
Just wanted to add: If you create a database in mySQL on a live site, then go into PHPMyAdmin and the database isn't showing up - logout of cPanel then log back in, open PHPMyAdmin, and it should be there now.
For an added element of safety, when working with multiple DBs in the same script you can specify the DB in the query, e.g. "create table my_awesome_db.really_cool_table...".
jst create a new DB in mysql.Select that new DB.(if you r using mysql phpmyadmin now on the top it'l be like 'Server:...* >> Database ).Now go to import tab select file.Import!

Recently, I deleted a user account in MySQL assigned to my former boss. Then, some database functions like deleting records from tables he made weren't working, giving the following error:
#1449 - There is no '*username*'#'localhost' registered
Now, I added a new user with the same name (and diff. password) and it works fine with no errors. But, is there way to resolve this without an placeholder user account?
Try replacing the DEFINER of the function
First login to mysql as root#localhost
Then, substitute root#localhost as the DEFINER
UPDATE mysql.proc SET definer='root#localhost'
WHERE definer = '*username*#localhost';
In fact, you can look at all DEFINERs like this:
SELECT COUNT(1) DefinerCount,definer,type
FROM mysql.proc GROUP BY definer,type;
This will show you how many functions and procedures each user owns. If any other the reported DEFINERs no longer exist or are invalid, you can make root#localhost inherit them.
Give it a Try !!!
I had to remove and re-add the triggers for the affected tables. (I used phpMyAdmin to do this).
I need a password for an user as Drupal's installation asks that. I'm totally newcomer on creating databases so I tried this:
CREATE DATABASE 'drupaltest';
CREATE USER 'jaakko'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
But PHPMyAdmin says
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '`password`'
Could anyone say what queries should I put to make an user with password that Drupal's installation requires and what grants should the new user have?
What you have should work I think. The only things I can think of is maybe you have the wrong type of quotation marks or maybe it has an issue with you setting password to 'password'. Perhaps try set it to something else. If that doesn't work maybe try create the user and then in a separate statement set the password and see if / where it trips up. E.g.
CREATE USER 'jaakko'#'localhost';
SET PASSWORD FOR 'jaakko'#'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpass');
This will also store the password more securely since the hash value will be stored instead of just the plain-text.
Brent777's solution will work, but for added security I would suggest salting the hash with a salt_value.
SELECT users.id, users.name into #id, #name FROM users where users.name = 'jaakko';
CREATE USER 'jaakko'#'localhost';
SET #newpass = 'newpass';
SET PASSWORD FOR 'jaakko'#'localhost' = PASSWORD(concat(#id,#name,#newpass));
Otherwise it will be too easy to attack the password table.
You may notice from my last question that a problem caused some more problems, Reading MySQL manuals in MySQL monitor?
My database is now unusable partly due to my interest to break things and my inability to look at error messages. I know that I should not reuse primary keys, but I would like to use them again after the removal of the database that I deteriorated. So
How can I correctly remove a MySQL database?
From the MySQL prompt:
mysql> drop database <db_name>;
If your database cannot be dropped, even though you have no typos in the statement and do not miss the ; at the end, enclose the database name in between backticks:
mysql> drop database `my-database`;
Backticks are for databases or columns, apostrophes are for data within these.
For more information, see this answer to Stack Overflow question When to use single quotes, double quotes, and backticks?.
If you are using an SQL script when you are creating your database and have any users created by your script, you need to drop them too. Lastly you need to flush the users; i.e., force MySQL to read the user's privileges again.
-- DELETE ALL RECIPE
drop schema <database_name>;
-- Same as `drop database <database_name>`
drop user <a_user_name>;
-- You may need to add a hostname e.g `drop user bob#localhost`
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Good luck!
drop database <db_name>;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
I needed to correct the privileges.REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ONlogs.* FROM 'root'#'root'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ONlogs.* TO 'root'#'root'WITH GRANT OPTION;
For Visual Studio, in the package manager console:
drop-database
If you are working in XAMPP and your query of drop database doesn't work then you can go to the operations tag where you find the column (drop the database(drop)), click that button and your database will be deleted.
