Question

I am using mysql5.1 server. I want to import sql dumb file using command prompt. and I also tried the following,

MySQL> -u {username} -p {database_name} < filename

am getting an error for the above code.

Answer 1

Finally found an answer for my question. we could import the dumb file in the following way:

1.From the command prompt go to the root of the server

 C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin>

2.Load the dumb file into the server using following command

 bin>mysql -uroot -p<server_password> {database_name} < {complete filepath}

Example:bin>MySQL -uroot -ppassword mydb < C:\Users\Anto\Documents\DB_Dumb

Answer 2

filename.sql should be in server. You can load the data if your filename.sql in client.
