Import .sql file to Mysql RailwayDB using command line.
To import an .sql file into MySQL using the command line, follow these steps:
-
First, make sure you have MySQL installed on your system and that you have access to the MySQL command line interface. You can download MySQL from the official website (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/) and follow the installation instructions.
-
Open a terminal or command prompt window and type the following command to log in to the MySQL server:
mysql -u [username] -p [database_name]
Replace
[username]
with your MySQL username and[database_name]
with the name of the database where you want to import the SQL file. You will be prompted to enter your password. -
Once you are logged in to the MySQL command line interface, use the
SOURCE
command to import the SQL file. Type the following command, replacing[file_path]
with the path to the location of your .sql file on your system:SOURCE [file_path]/[file_name].sql;
Replace
[file_path]
with the absolute or relative path to the directory containing the .sql file, and[file_name]
with the name of the .sql file without the .sql extension. -
If the SQL file contains any errors, you will see an error message in the command line output. If the import is successful, you will not see any output.
-
To exit the MySQL command line interface, type the following command:
exit;
That's it! Your .sql file has been imported into MySQL using the command line. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
