Create new database
 

Haven't done this in quite a long time so memory is fuzzy.
I need to restore a .sql backup file made with putty and shell access
Rather than overwrite the existing database I created a new one,
added myself as a user with all privlidge. The new db name
is bullet5. I get logged in to the shell level and run this command

mysql -u xxxx -p bullet5 < /home/xxxx/public_html/SQL_Backup/forum_bu_02_09_10.sql

I get an error message 1045. Could have sworn this worked in the past. Do I need to do
anything else to initialize the new DB before the restore ? My guess is its a path problem
but wondered if I was skipping a DB prep first.
