phpMyadmin database import error #1046 - No database selected

Question

I have an sql file that i exported from phpmyadmin on another computer. I tried to import the file on this computer and I get this error:

Error

<

Answer 1

I've had this problem just this moment and none of the above answers solved my problem. Eventually, I ran the export again and the resulting .sql file was much larger. So the problem was a faulty export which resulted in an incomplete SQL file. The necessary statements would have been truncated in this case.

Answer 2

The error is because you either didn't select a database on the left side to import to, and/or you didn't create the empty database first. Create a database in phpMyAdmin called "phplogin", select it on the left side, and then run the import.

Answer 3

Append the following line to the beginning of your sql file

CREATE DATABASE phplogin;

These problems can be resolved by exporting the SQL file while being outside the database.Then phpmyadmin automatically appends the above statement to the SQL file
