You have to follow below steps:

• First check Mysql service should be running.

• Then if you have compressed file, decompress it first.

• Then you will find .sql file after decompressing.
• Then find import data in left corner in Mysql.
• Select option import from self-contained file and select your .sql file and specify a new schema name.
• Then click on import data.
• After importing you will see your new schema in available schema list.
