You can make the import command from any SQL query browser using the following command:

source C:\path\to\file\dump.sql

Run the above code in the query window ... and wait a while :)

This is more or less equal to the previously stated command line version. The main difference is that it is executed from within MySQL instead. For those using non-standard encodings, this is also safer than using the command line version because of less risk of encoding failures.
