If you have wamp installed then go to command prompt   go to the path where mysql exe exists   like for me it was   C  wamp bin mysql mysql5 0 51b bin   then paste the sql file in the same location and then run this command in cmd     C  wamp bin mysql mysql5 0 51b bin gt mysql -u root -p YourDatabaseName  lt  YourFileName sql

If you don t have password you can use the command without   -u   Like this  C  wamp gt bin mysql mysql5 7 11 bin mysql exe -u  User Name   Database Name   lt  C  File sql   Or on the SQL console   mysql -u  User Name  -p  Database Name   lt  C  File sql

If those commands don t seems to work -- I assure you they do --  check the top of your sql dump file for the use of    CREATE DATABASE  mydbname    and  USE  mydbname    The last parameter  mydbname  of the mysql command can be misleading   if CREATE DATABASE an USE are in your dump file  the import will in fact be done in this database  not in the one in the mysql command   The mysqldump command that will prompt CREATE DATABASE and USE is    mysqldump exe -h localhost -u root --databases xxx  gt  xxx sql   Use mysqldump without --databases to leave out CREATE DATABASE and USE    mysqldump exe -h localhost -u root xxx  gt  xxx sql

If you are running WampServer on your local machine  import means restoring the dump file that you have  in sql format   Here are the steps     Go to command line by going to Start -  Run and typing in cmd  Change the directory to Mysql bin directory  It will be like  c  wamp bin mysql mysql5 7 14 bin It would be better to keep the dump file in the above directory  we can delete  after restoration  Hope you have created the database  either through phpMyadmin or using command line  Then type the command mysql exe -u root -p databasename  lt  filename sql   Please note the difference  it is  mysql exe  not  mysql
