Where should I put \'file.sql\' in

Answer 1

Import Database
1. Go to drive

command: c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql -u root -p
3. Will ask for pwd: enter it
pwd
4. Select db
use DbName;
5. Provide file name
\. G:DbName.sql

Answer 2

you need to point to the location of your file using:

mysql -u username -p database_name < drive:\\path_to_your_file\file.sql

Answer 3

Type the following command to import sql data file:

$ mysql -u username -p -h localhost DATA-BASE-NAME < data.sql

In this example, import 'data.sql' file into 'blog' database using vivek as username:

$ mysql -u sat -p -h localhost blog < data.sql

If you have a dedicated database server, replace localhost hostname with with actual server name or IP address as follows:

$ mysql -u username -p -h 202.54.1.10 databasename < data.sql

OR use hostname such as mysql.cyberciti.biz

$ mysql -u username -p -h mysql.cyberciti.biz database-name < data.sql

If you do not know the database name or database name is included in sql dump you can try out something as follows:

$ mysql -u username -p -h 202.54.1.10 < data.sql
