mysql import on windows

Question

I have a MySQL file, db.sql. I have tried to import it using:

mysql -uroot -p[password] db < db.sql

All I get is a listing of m

Answer 1

I found out it is different to run this command from Windows Command Line (cmd.exe) and Windows PowerShell.

Using CMD.exe the command works okay, but in PowerShell I get this error:

mysql -uroot exampledb < exampledb.sql

The '<' operator is reserved for future use.
