Dump sql file to ClearDB in Heroku

Question

I have a sql file that I want to be dumped into a MySQL database that I have in Heroku using the ClearDB addon. When dumping in local I do the following:

mysql          


        

Answer 1

I was getting errors when I typed it all at once so I broke it down into small steps first I entered my MySQL details like so:

mysql --host=us-cdbr-iron-east-02.cleardb.net --user=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx --password=xxxxxxxx --reconnect 

then once I got in I changed to the database like so:

mysql> use heroku_xxxxxxxxxx;

then I now imported the SQL file like so:

mysql> source path/to/file.sql;
