How to import a MySQL/MariaDB Database
In order to import a MySQL/MariaDB database file, you will first need to create an empty database. Log in to the MySQL/MariaDB client with the command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the MySQL/MariaDB root user's password, then create the database:
CREATE DATABASE [database name];
For example, to create a database named my_db the command is:
CREATE DATABASE my_new_db;
Once this is done, log out of the client:
quit;

You can now import the database file with the command:
mysql -u [username] -p [new database name] < [.sql dump file name]
For example, to import a .sql dump file named my_db-10-01-2016.sql into the my_new_db database, the command is:
mysql -u root -p my_new_db < my_db-10-01-2016.sql
