    Sometimes when you have large databases files and you are unable to import the database manually. Then the easiest (and fastest) way is to use command line.

    Import:--
    1. Run the cmd (DOS) and get into the mysql folder, which in my case works like this 

    C:\>cd C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.51b\bin

    2. Then use this command to run up MySQL 

    C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.51b\bin>mysql.exe -use databasename -u username -p password_optional
    3. To make things easier, I copy my SQL file into the C derive. And then run following command 

    mysql> source C:/myfilename.sql;

    You can put the SQL file anywhere in your system and give the source file path.
