        I get an error 'ACCESS DENIED CREATE DATABASE db_name' when I try to import a database
To solve this issue follow these steps:
- Open the MySQL backup with a text editor on your local computer.
- Delete the line saying “CREATE DATABASE yourdbname“. Usually, this line is found at the very beginning of the file.
- Save the file and try to import it again.
