How to Import MySQL Database Files

There are several methods to import files into a MySQL database.

1. To import a file into a database using the MySQL command line tool, first log in to MySQL and then use the following command to import the file.

mysql -u username -p database_name < file.sql

In this case, username represents the MySQL username, database_name is the name of the database where the file is to be imported, and file.sql is the name of the file to be imported.

1. Using MySQL Workbench:
   MySQL Workbench is a graphical management tool that allows for easy importing of files into a database. To do this, open MySQL Workbench, select the database where you want to import the file, then click on the menu option “File” -> “Import Data.” In the dialog box that appears, select the file you want to import, configure the parameters, and click the “Start Import” button to complete the import process.
2. To use phpMyAdmin:
   phpMyAdmin is a web-based MySQL management tool that can also be used for importing files into a database. Log in to phpMyAdmin, select the database where you want to import the file, click on the “Import” option in the menu, choose the file to import, set the parameters, and then click on the “Go” button to complete the import.
