导入MySQL XML Dump？

Question

I have dumped a MySQL database (all tables) for use with PHPUnit using this command:

mysqldump --xml -t -u [username] --password=[password] [database] > /path/to/file.xml

I need to modify the test data, so I need to re-import it back into the database so I can work on it with MySQL workbench.

What is the command to reimport it back into a specified database?

And no, it's not as simple as LOAD XML , that works on a table by table basis, but this export has all tables in it.

NO , there is no built in way present to restore a XML formatted dump file. You can check this blog Restoring XML-formatted MySQL dumps for information on this as well as this existing post How to restore a mysql xml database file from mysql command line?
