Just one line and you are done  make sure mysql command is available as global or just go to mysql installation folder and enter into bin folder   mysql -u database user name -p -D database name  lt  complete file path with file name and extension    Here   u stands for User p stands for Password D stands for Database   ---DON T FORGET TO ADD  lt  SIGN AFTER DATABASE NAME---  Complete file path with name and extension can be like  c  folder name  folder name  sql file sql  ---IF YOUR FOLDER AND FILE NAME CONTAINS SPACE THAN BIND THEM USING DOUBLE QUOTE---  Tip and Note  You can write your password after -p but this is not recommended because it will show to others who are watching your screen at that time  if you don t write there it will ask you when you will execute command by pressing enter

Best way to upload a large file not use phpmyadmin   cause phpmyadin at first upload the file using php upload class then execute sql that cause most of the time its time out happened    best way is    enter wamp folder bin mysql bin dirrectory then write this line   mysql -u root -p listnames  lt  latestdb sql here listnames is the database name at first please create the empty database  and the latestdb sql is your sql file name where your data present     but one important thing is if your database file has unicode data   you must need to open your latestdb sql file and one line before any line   the line is    SET NAMES utf8  then your command mode run this script code

I stumbled on an article and this worked best for me   Open up the config inc php file within the phpmyadmin dir with your favorite code editor  In your local MAMP environment  it should be located here    Hard Drive    Applications    MAMP    bin    config inc php   Do a search for the phrase  cfg    UploadDir         it   s going to look like this     cfg  UploadDir           Change it to look like this     cfg  UploadDir      upload     Then  within that phpmyadmin dir  create a new folder  amp  name it upload  Take that large  sql file that you   re trying to import  and put it in that new upload folder  Now  the next time you go to import a database into phpMyAdmin  you   ll see a new dropdown field right below the standard browse area in your    File to Import    section
