Answer 1

You can't reliably do this in one step. You have to download the file, then load the local (downloaded) copy into MySQL.

$ wget https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/{sql-file} -O some-local-filename.sql

$ mysql [options]

mysql> source some-local-filename.sql

Answer 2

What about not downloading the file, but directly pushing into the MySQL DB ?

aws s3 cp s3://'<bucket name>'/'<database name>'.sql.gz - | gunzip | mysql
    --host=127.0.0.1 \
    --user='<user name>' \
    --password='<password>' \
    --port=3306

or,

aws s3 cp s3://'<bucket name>'/'<database name>'.sql - | mysql
    --host=127.0.0.1 \
    --user='<user name>' \
    --password='<password>' \
    --port=3306
