How To Bring In External SQL File?

[richlocus]

Hello:
I'm somewhat new to XAMPP. I installed it and worked with databases already provided in the install.
A friend sent me an SQL file (usedcars.sql) and I'm trying to see it in phpMyAdmin, but I have not been able to make it visible so I can see the tables inside the database. How do I connect to it using phpMyAdmin from XAMPP?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Rich Locus
