How do I restore a dump file from mysqldump

0 votes

I was given a MySQL database file that I need to restore as a database on my Windows Server machine.

I tried using MySQL Administrator, but I got the following error:

The selected file was generated by mysqldump and cannot be restored by this application.

How do I get this working?

Hello @kartik,

It should be as simple as running this:

mysql -u <user> -p < db_backup.dump

If the dump is of a single database you may have to add a line at the top of the file:

USE <database-name-here>;

If it was a dump of many databases, the use statements are already in there.

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!
