将数据导入mysql中的db

Question

I have sql data in .sql format. and I need to import it to the MySql database. What are all the steps should I take. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your .sql file only contains a lot of SQL queries.

The simplest way to import your file is to execute those SQL queries, with the mysql command-line tool :

mysql --user=USER --password=PASSWORD --host=HOST DB_NAME < your_sql_file.sql

This will send all the content of your_sql_file.sql to the mysql program, which will execute it -- and, so, import your data.

Of course, you'll have to replace the upper-case USER , PASSWORD , HOST , and DB_NAME with your real connection informations.

Answer 2

Are you using any software to connect with mysql? If yes, then there should be opion for importing data. Try that.
