I have a .sql
file with an export from phpMyAdmin
. I want to import it into a different server using the command line.
I have a Windows Ser
A common use of mysqldump is for making a backup of an entire database:
shell> mysqldump db_name > backup-file.sql
You can load the dump file back into the server like this:
UNIX
shell> mysql db_name < backup-file.sql
The same in Windows command prompt:
mysql -p -u [user] [database] < backup-file.sql
PowerShell
C:\> cmd.exe /c "mysql -u root -p db_name < backup-file.sql"
MySQL command line
mysql> use db_name;
mysql> source backup-file.sql;
