 * I’m moving my site to bluehost.
 * The old database name is mydatab_main. My Bluehost database names have the prefix“
   mydataba_main”.
 * When I try to import the database, I get this error:
    #1044 – Access denied for
   user ‘mydataba’@’localhost’ to database ‘mydatab_main’

 * How are you trying to import the database? Are you using PHPMyAdmin?
 * For a good guide of the whole migration process, see the following: [http://wordpress.shadowlantern.com/?p=67](http://wordpress.shadowlantern.com/?p=67)
