I have an older .sql file (exported from 5.0.45) I am trying to import into a newer version of MySQL via phpMyAdmin. Receiving errors

Receiving the following error message:

This option conflicts with "AUTO_INCREMENT". (near "AUTO_INCREMENT" at position 692)

    If you ask for the 1046 No database selected then it is what it means. You exported a table from a database without the USE xxx.

    So I would suggest try importing this within a database or add the USE clause on top on your SQL file.

    Another thing:
    If you ask a question on Stackoverflow make sure to read the “formatting rules”. Wich means you can organzie your question.
    It is actually quite hard to read what error you have. Use emphasis, code blocks and such things like:

    CREATE table_blub
col1 CHAR(120) NOT NULL,
col2 INT(5)...

    By this someone can better read what is code and what is the error and of course what is the actual question.

    Eurobetics is correct, this is because the .sql file doesn’t specify what database to work with. That’s no problem, you can just create the database on your new server and import the file in to that. Since you’re importing through phpMyAdmin, first use the “New” text in the left-hand navigation area to create a new database (you don’t need to put any tables in it). Once the database is created, phpMyAdmin puts you in the database structure page. (If you happen to navigate away or are coming back after you’ve already created the database, just click the existing database in the navigation pane). Look at the tabs along the top row and use the “Import” tab there (or drag and drop your .sql file here).

    Being inside that database page tells phpMyAdmin that you want to import to that database specifically, whereas if you’re on the main home page, the Import button there isn’t attached to any particular database, which leads to your error.

    You could technically add the SQL commands to create the database and USE the database in to the .sql file, but in this case that doesn’t seem like it’s needed and would just be making more work for you.
