Execute SQL script to create tables and rows

 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4003034/execute-sql-script-to-create-tables-and-rows

In the MySQL interactive client you can type:

source yourfile.sql

Alternatively you can pipe the data into mysql from the command line:

mysql < yourfile.sql

If the file doesn't specify a database then you will also need to add that:

mysql db_name < yourfile.sql
