importing a large database dump

Postby tonyhs » 16. January 2013 20:44

Hi,
I am trying to upload a large database dump (9mb) into the database 'test' using xampp for windows. I open phpadmin, select the SQL tab and type in:-

mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uroot -pLocalhstpw test < database_dump.sql

When I press 'go' I get the following error message:-

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uroot -pLocalhstpw test < database_dump.sql' at line 1

I cannot see where the syntax error is. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Tony

Hello,

What you are trying to put in is not SQL.

If you want to do that, open a command prompt (Start > run > cmd), change to the '/xampp/mysql/bin' directory, then run that command (assuming the .sql file is also in that directory).

Many Thanks, I was trying to test out the command (taken from a php script) as it kept giving a warning but not showing what the warning was. I will use the command box as you suggest.

Thanks again
