If you re trying to do this via the command line     If you re trying to run the CREATE TABLE statement from the command line interface  you need to specify the database you re working in before executing the query   USE your database    Here s the documentation   If you re trying to do this via MySQL Workbench        you need to select the appropriate database catalog in the drop down menu found above the  Object Browser  tab  You can specify the default schema database catalog for the connection - click the  Manage Connections  options under the SQL Development heading of the Workbench splash screen   Addendum  This all assumes there s a database you want to create the table inside of - if not  you need to create the database before anything else   CREATE DATABASE your database

be careful about blank passwords  mysqldump  options  -p    --databases database name   will ask for a password and complain with mysqldump  Got error  1046   No database selected  when selecting the database  the problem is that the -p option requires that there be no space between -p and the password   mysqldump  options  -p   --databases database name   solved the problem  quotes are not needed anymore

Assuming you are using the command line  1  Find Database show databases   2  Select a database from the list e g  USE classicmodels  and you should be off to the races   Obviously  you ll have to use the correctly named database in your list  Why is this error occurring  Mysql requires you to select the particular database you are working on  I presume it is a design decision they made  it avoids a lot of potential problems  e g  it is entirely possible  for you to use the same table names across multiple databases e g  a users table  In order to avoid these types of issues  they probably thought   quot let s make users select the database they want quot

I m late i think    soory    If you are here like me searching for the solution when this error occurs with mysqldump instead of mysql  try this solution that i found on a german website out there by chance  so i wanted to share with homeless people who got headaches like me   So the problem occurs because the lack -databases parameter before the database name  So your command must look like this   mysqldump -pdbpass -udbuser --databases dbname   Another cause of the problem in my case was that i m developping on local and the root user doesn t have a password  so in this case you must use --password  instead of -pdbpass  so my final command was   mysqldump -udbuser --password  --databases dbname     Link to the complete thread  in German    https   marius bloggt-in-braunschweig de 2016 04 29 solution-mysqldump-no-database-selected-when-selecting-the-database
