then I completely removed my database:

Answer 1

I tried dump of my database with the following commands:

#mysqldump -u  -p  DB_name > .sql

Then login into the DB:

   #mysql -u  -p 
   >show databases;
   >drop database ;

Then create a new database:

#create database ;

DB_name is userdefined name we can have any name.

and then restore the DB with the following command:

#mysql -u  -p  DB_name < .sql
