How can I import a database with MySQL from terminal?
the syntax from this thread
mysql -u username -ppassword databasename < filename.sql
my input for the file (lahman591) i placed on my root for simplicity sake
mysql> mysql -u root -p lahman591 <c:\lahman591.sql
i get an Error:
ERROR 1064 (42000) You have an error in your sql syntax.
You need to do it from your normal shell (the command is calling the
mysqlbin), not mysql shell.
