Import MySQL DB Schema

Question

I have successfully used mysqldump to export a db schema without data. I now want to import this db schema.

I have tried a couple of methods but come across the error related to the < character.

Any ideas?

As the error shows, input redirection in PowerShell does not work with the < sign. You would do it using the Cmdlet Get-Content and use piping to put the output into the input of the command:

Get-Content v:\\mcsdb.sql | mysql -u root --sql --recreate-schema mcs
