Importing a database dump in MySQL
The below command is one that you need to remember: mysql -u < user > -p < db_backup. dump Just fired up the windows command line, and ensured my local MySQL server is running. I then just now ran the above command to do the import. Remember, that you may specify the exact path to the dump file as well, if it does not reside in the working directory of MySQL. Also note that the .dump file could have also been originally exported as a .sql, in which case the process will be the same. This import took a 400 meg database dump about 6 minutes to load on my system. If you are running a SSD setup, expect much faster load times :-) Happy importing and exporting people www.silvafox.co.za
