restoring a MySQL database
I have created a file named ab.sql using the mysqldump utility of a database named library. It worked fine. Now i am trying to restore it using mysqlimport. My database already exists. But i want to override it. I am using the command mysqlimport -uroot -p**** library D:/ab.sql in the command line but it gives an error that says, mysqlimport: Error: 1146, Table 'library.ab' doesn't exist, when using table: ab desperately need help. froody mysqlimport reads rows from a text file into a database. mysqldump outputs a file full of SQL statements, not simple rows. You can run those SQL statements
