Answer 1

To import SQL file what works for me

For Wamp-Server

1. Find mysql in wamp. In my computer it's location is "C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.21\bin"

Open cmd and once you get inside bin you have to write " mysql -uroot -p database_name < filename.sql"

remember to put sql file under bin.

in nutshell you have to do this:-

C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.21\bin>mysql -uroot -p database_name < filename.sql

After this, it will ask for the password, mine password was nothing(BLANK).

hope it helps someone.
