No table found in DB constructed from forum.sql backup file

I just created a copy of my PHPbb DB used by my forum to run a development forum and test MODs before implementing them.

I then tried to upload my backup DB file (forum.sql) to populate my empty DB_dev, using PHPMyadmin (phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-pl1)- SQL - " Location of the text file:", entering the name of my backup (forum.sql) in the field and pressing GO.

I get this message:

---------------------
I Your SQL query has been executed successfully:
The content of your file has been inserted. (forum.sql: 12904 Instructions)

No tables found in database.
---------------------

So, what's going on here? The uploading is said "successful" but my new database remains empty (no tables). Indeed, when I try any of the tab, it says "no table"....

Should I try another method for uploading my forum.sql backup file into my newly created DB?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

the database name is stored in the sql file, I'd think..
