Re: Install and Import a data base

[Rick James]

WAMP is a nice package that installs MySQL, PHP, Perl, and Apache. There are other packages like WAMP. You can ignore PHP, etc., and simply use MySQL.

The install will be good enough to get started with.

Find the "commandline mysql" and use it for many things. Or find phpmyadmin, which is a nice UI.

C:\? mysql
mysql> source foobar.sql
mysql> exit

You will now have the .sql file loaded (assuming it is called foobar.sql. You may need a path. It may need / instead of \ for path parts.

phpmyadmin can also do the "LOAD" of the .sql file.
