XF 1.4 Importing mysql database error database exists

[Skruble]

So I recently have been trying to move my Xenforo forums to my new server. I've tried to upload the database to phpmyadmin, but the file is to big. So I've tried to import it via SSH I used this command

mysql -u root -p forums < localhost.sql

Afterward I get:

Unknown database 'forums'

So I create a database and it says:

ERROR 1007 (HY000) at line 21: Can't create database 'forums'; database exists.

What should I do?

Also drop the create (comment it out) if you've already made one, failing that delete it then restart MYSQL and then try again.
