Importing zipped files in Mysql using command line

Question

Importing zipped files in Mysql using CMD

What is the right syntax to import sql zipped files into mysql using cmd ?

I am doing the following

xz < backup.sql.gz | mysql -u root test

But always getting the following error

Answer 1

I got the answer from my other question. This is the command to import zipped file when you are using 7zip

7z x -so backup.7z | mysql -u root test

x is the extraction command

-so option makes 7-zip write to stdout

Answer 2

Try:

unzip -p dbdump.sql.zip | mysql -u root -p yourdbname

The dbdump.sql.zip should contain a single SQL file. The -p flag pipes the output into the mysql binary.

Answer 3

zcat backup.sql.gz | mysql -u[username] -p[pswd] [db]

Answer 4

You want might to try xz −−decompress −−stdout to decompress.

Full command would be xz −−decompress −−stdout backup.sql.gz | mysql -u root test
