Import MySQL Database File (large or small)

MySQL Prompt

In order to import data dump files, I have started using the native MySQL import feature from within the application.

Login to MySQL:

$ mysql -umyuser -pmypassword

Select your database and then give MySQL the path to your data file.

mysql> use mydb;
mysql> source /path/to/my/data.sql;

Done. Really simple. Love MySQL.
