Enable binary mode while restoring a Database from an SQL dump

I am extremely new to MySQL and am running it on Windows. I am trying to restore a Database from a dumpfile in MySQL, but I get the following error:

$ >m         


        

Answer 1

If you don't have enough space or don't want to waste time in decompressing it, Try this command.

gunzip < compressed-sqlfile.gz | mysql -u root -p

Don't forget to replace compressed-sqlfile.gz with your compressed file name.

.gz restore will not work without command I provided above.
