Answer 1

La Chi's answer works for me.

You can view his/her answer in the comment of zessx answer in this page. But I initially have a problem with it if you also do just tweak his/her answer like this: mysql -h localhost -u root -p -D mydatabase < mydatabase.sql.

Also I would suggest that in the mydatabase.sql portion you include the direct location of it in your computer like "C:\Users\username\desktop".

Thank you.
