Any solutions step by step

Answer 1

The -p and password shouldn't have space(s) in between and should have space between password and < . Hence, you code should be written like:

mysql -u proxsa1 -p********** dbname < proxsa1.sql

eg

mysql -u user -pPASSWORD dbname < file.sql

Edit:

If you're importing to a different location, the command line should be something like this:

mysql.exe -h host/ip_address -P port(optional) -u user -pPASSWORD dbname < file.sql

1. -h is the host or ip address of the external MySQL service location.
2. -P (port) is only used when the MySQL service port is different than the default (usually 3306 ). My usual command line looks like this:

mysql.exe -h mydb.com -P 3388 -u user -pPASSWORD dbname < file.sql

OR

mysql.exe -h 192.168.1.1 -P 3388 -u user -pPASSWORD dbname < file.sql
