$ mysql --user ${user} --password < ${path-to-backup-sql}
try on your machine
This command is used to restore a MySQL database from a backup SQL file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
mysql
is the command-line tool for interacting with MySQL databases.--user ${user}
specifies the username of the MySQL user that will be used to connect to the database.--password
prompts you to enter the password for the MySQL user. When you run the command, you need to provide the password.< ${path-to-backup-sql}
redirects the contents of the backup SQL file to themysql
command. Thepath-to-backup-sql
represents the actual path to the backup file on your system.
To use this command, replace ${user}
with the appropriate MySQL username and ${path-to-backup-sql}
with the path to your actual backup SQL file. Run the command and enter the password when prompted to restore the MySQL database using the backup SQL file.
