But there is error message

Error:
Unknown command '\x'

Error:

Anyone knows what's wrong with the command?

Answer 1

Try this, I think this may help you.

mysql -u username -p database_name < file.sql

check mysql Options. Don't use \\ (slash) use / (slash) to mention the file path.

Answer 2

On Windows, the pathname separator character is '\\', but MySQL treats the backslash as the escape character in strings. To deal with this issue, write separators in Windows pathnames either as '/' or as '\\\\'. To load a file named C:\\mydata\\data.txt, specify the filename as shown in either of the following statements:

mysql  <database_name> < ‘C:/mydata/data.txt’
mysql  <database_name> < ‘C:\\mydata\\data.txt’
