Error #1046 - No database selected SQL import on XAMPP

Question

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:
--
-- Database: `aipiadxxm_if9DHdr.sql`
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `if9d_access`
--
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `if9d_access` (
`aid` int( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`mask` varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '',
`type` varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '',
`status` tinyint( 4 ) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY ( `aid` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT =1;


MySQL said: Documentation
#1046 - No database selected

What is causing this error message: #1046 - No database selected ?

It looks like the .sql file is just the table. Try creating the database in phpmyadmin, then importing the file as a table. — PeaBucket

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).
