importing table dump from another machine

[Monte Milanuk]

Hello,

In the past I've used mysql from the command line a little, and mostly via phpMyAdmin. I have a small database that I have put together in phpmyadmin on another machine and then dumped to an .sql file that I'd like to import into a local instance of MySQL Community Edition 5.1 and MySQL Workbench 5.2.29 on my Macbook. I know how I would go about creating the database, creating a user, granting permissions and then importing the table structure from the console. I'm trying to figure out how to do that in Workbench. I've found a number of places that talk about setting up new databases from scratch (I gather that 'schema' in Workbench is equivalent to 'database' in phpmyadmin?), but not much about importing table structure from a dump on another machine. I tried cutting and pasting the CREATE TABLE commands into the SQL editor and executing them, but it didn't seem to work (nothing indicated the tables had been created, and they weren't listed anywhere)?

Any ideas or nudges in the correct direction would be most appreciated!

TIA,

Monte
