Answer 1

If you are already logged in the try this it will be very useful, but depend upon the MySQL version, it works on MySQL 5.0

For log in if you are not already logged in.

mysql>[your password]

Other wise, use the database to which you want to import the SQLDump file by command.

mysql>use [your database name]

And then give source the database Dump file path as blow command(If not works the copy Dump database file to the bin folder where the MySQL installed for eg. "C:/programfiles/mysql/mqlserver5.0/bin")

mysql> source [dataBasePath+name.sql or dataBaseName.sql]
