Two methods for MySQL command to execute sql files

Friends who have studied SQL Server or Oracle will know that a sql script is a collection of sql statements containing one or more sql commands. We can put these sql scripts in a text file (we call it a "sql script file"), Then execute this sql script file through the relevant commands. The basic steps are as follows:

1. Create a sql script file, such as the following sql statement, copy them to Notepad, and then save it as a sql suffix file.

2. Use the command to execute the sql script file

Method 1, use the cmd command under Windows (or Unix or Linux console)
[Mysql bin directory] mysql –u username –p password –D database C:MySQLbinmysql –uroot –p123456 -Dtest

Note:
A. If the use database is used in the sql script file, Then the -D database option can be ignored
B. If the [Mysql bin directory] contains spaces, you need to use "" to include it, such as: "C:Program FilesMySQLbinmysql" –u username –p password –D databaseC. If sql does not have a statement to create a database, and the database does not exist in database management, you must first create an empty database with a command.

Method 2, enter the MySQL console (such as: MySQL 5.5 Command Line Client), use the source command to execute
Mysql>source [full path name of sql script file] or Mysql>. [full path name of sql script file], Example:
source C:test.sql or . C:test.sql
Open the MySQL Command Line Client, enter the database password to log in, and then use the source command or .
