Question

How can I import a database with mysql from terminal?

I cannot find the exact syntax.

Answer 1

There has to be no space between -p and password

mysql -u [dbusername] -p[dbpassword] [databasename] < /home/serverusername/public_html/restore_db/database_file.sql

I always use it, it works perfectly. Thanks to ask this question. Have a great day. Njoy :)
