mysql - ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'mydatabasename'

Question

I am trying to restore database from .sql file , i have created the database in phpmyadmin and also using the create if not exist command in the .sql file which i am restoring to the database and both names of database are same in phpmyadmin and .sql file which is"mydatabase".

Here is the command which i am using to restore database.

mysql -uroot -pmypassword mydatabase<mydatabase.sql;

When i execute the above command i am getting the following error, i have also given all the permission to the user upon this database.

ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'mydatabasename'

Please help me how can i solve this issue. Thanks,

Answer 1

If dump file contains:

CREATE DATABASE mydatabasename;
USE mydatabasename; 

You may just use in CLI:

mysql -uroot –pmypassword < mydatabase.sql

It works.
