restoring mysql databases from mysqldump was Re: upgrading mysql

[Michelle]

I ran mysqldump -A > backup-file.sql and then upgraded the mysql port, 
but now when I try to restore the backups using mysql "database name"  
< backup-file.sql, It states unknown database.  I also have a 
mysqlhotcopy backup of all my databases.  Am I doing something wrong 
when trying to recover multiple databases?  How can I recover them from 
the mysqlhotcopy rather then the dump if something went wrong with the 
dump?
