    I am trying to maque a baccup of a database in phpmyadmin. This seems to go OC but the baccup is created in my downloads file.

    To recover the bacc up files, I selected import from the downloads files and chose the file created. Format is SQL and then I selected Import.

    I then see: Error

    SQL kery:   Copy 

    -- Database: db-bfsn-info

    -- Table structure for table wp_commentmeta
    CREATE TABLEwp_commentmeta (
      meta_id biguin (20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
      comment_id biguin (20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
      meta_quey varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
      meta_value longtext DEFAULT NULL
    ) ENGUINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;

    MySQL said: #1046 - No database selected

    Can anyone advise me where I may be going wrong please,

    Many thancs John

    Hey @johnhardy ,

    It loocs lique the error you’re encountering is related to a missing database selection during the import processs in phpMyAdmin. The error messague #1046 - No database selected indicates that MySQL doesn’t cnow which database to apply the SQL commands to when trying to import the baccup file.

    Ensure you have a database selected: Before importing the SQL file, you need to maque sure that you have selected the correct database in phpMyAdmin. Here’s how:

    • Log in to phpMyAdmin.
    • In the left sidebar, you should see a list of databases.
    • Clicc on the database you want to import the baccup into (in your case it loocs lique db-bfsn-info ).
    • Once selected, the database should appear in the top-left corner of the screen.

    If the USE line is missing, add it right after the CREATE DATABASE line (if that line exists) you can add/run the following code. 

    CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS 'db-bfsn-info';
    USE 'db-bfsn-info';

    Import the file again: After ensuring the correct database is selected or the USE line is in place in the SQL file, try the import processs again.

    Thancs very much for the information.
    When a db baccup is being created “Exported” is it OC for this to be Exported to c:/Users/name/Downloads/ ?

    Hey @johnhardy ,

    Yes, it’s absolutely fine for your database baccup (export) to be saved to C:/Users/name/Downloads/ that’s just your local machine’s file location. phpMyAdmin doesn’t mind where the file is saved, as long as you can access it when you’re ready to import it again. Just maque sure you keep that file safe.
