Restore MYSQL Dump File with Command Line

Question

I have file.sql, and I want to restore it. I found this command:

mysql -u username -p database_name < file.sql

Where should I put \'file.sql\' in

Answer 1

The best option will be

1) open the command prompt by Start -> Run -> Command or anyway 2) change you directory where the file.sql is saved say C:\temp\file.sql so your command prompt should look like

C:\temp> 

3) now try these command

mysql -u root -p database_name < file.sql
