You can import database tables into MySQL using the following methods:

  1. Import using command line:
  2. Open the command line interface and log in to MySQL.
  3. Create a new database (if needed): CREATE DATABASE database_name;
  4. To import a database table, use the following command: mysql -u username -p database_name < path_to_sql_file.sql. Replace username with your MySQL username, database_name with the name of the database where you want to import the table, and path_to_sql_file.sql with the file path containing the table structure and data.
  5. Import using a MySQL client tool:
  6. Open a MySQL client tool (such as phpMyAdmin, Navicat, etc.).
  7. Create a new database (if needed).
  8. Locate the import option or feature, and choose the SQL file you want to import.
  9. Confirm the import options and begin the import.

No matter which method you choose, make sure the SQL file includes the correct table structure and data, and that you have sufficient permissions to import the tables.
