hi,

i am getting a "no database selected error" when i give the following command..

mysql>source company_data.sql
ERROR 1046 (3D000):No database selected

pls help me out with this error!!

You must select the database that contains the objects to which the rest of the SQL statements refer. For example, if the statements in your company_data.sql refer to objects in a database called 'db1' you need to either run the following statement

USE db1;

before running source from the company_data.sql or else add that statement to the beginning of your company_data.sql file.
