Just (within MySql):
create database rt4;
Then, from the command line, using the dump from your current mysql server,
mysql -u<username>  -p rt4<  <name_of_sql_dump.sql>

Thanks.  That will override the 'CREATE DATABASE' in
the rt3 dump file?

Subject: Re: [rt-users] 3.4.2 to 4.x

I've read and re-read docs/UPGRADING*.

Things are going quite smoothly so far, as this is a pretty stock old install 
of 3.4.2 heading to 4.0.4 on a totally different box.

Question:

Importing the old MySQL 'rt3' database as 'rt4'

How?  Edit the dump file?

Thanks for any further help!

Before I waste a bunch of time, is there any chance this is likely to

1. Dump all RT 3.4.2 data from MySQL 4.1 (database 'rt3') 2. Stand up
new server with RT 4.x and modern MySQL 3. Import old data

Not with just those steps, but yes, of course you can upgrade from
3.4.2 to 4.0.4.  Carefully read and follow the instructions in the
UPGRADING.mysql, UPGRADING-3.4, UPGRADING-3.6, UPGRADING-3.8, and
UPGRADING-4.0 documentation.

You have a large upgrade ahead of you, but it's well documented and
fairly straightforward.
http://blog.bestpractical.com/2011/07/upgrading-to-rt-4.html is a
gentle introduction, but it does not try to cover all of the
individual steps you'll need to take, just the general process.
