Linux – Unable to restore a Mysql database using an sql dump file

I am setting up a new project on my development system and am stuck with creating the database. I have a large .sql file to create the database with.

At first I created an empty database called adpsnet_Directory and executed this command –

mysqldump -uroot -p  adpsnet_Directory < adpsnet_Directory.sql 

But it displays this and nothing actually happens –

-- MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 5.1.41, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)
--
-- Host: localhost    Database: adpsnet_Directory
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version       5.1.41

-- Dump completed on 2011-02-28 20:48:56

Then I read here that the above command works only if the database does not exist. I was having an empty database. So, I dropped that database but got this error –

-- MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 5.1.41, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)
--
-- Host: localhost    Database: adpsnet_Directory
-- ------------------------------------------------------

mysqldump: Got error: 1049: Unknown database 'adpsnet_Directory' when selecting the database

Then I tried the following command in the presence and absence of the empty database –

mysqlimport -uroot adpsnet_Directory adpsnet_Directory.sql

And the results –

Presence –

mysqlimport: Error: 1146, Table 'adpsnet_Directory.adpsnet_Directory' doesn't exist, when using table: adpsnet_Directory

Absence –

mysqlimport: Error: 1049 Unknown database 'adpsnet_Directory'

It is pretty late here and I am not getting what is happening. Any pointers please… What am I missing?

Thanks
