2.10.7. Database import via console

To import the database through the console, do the following:

1. With the help of any FTP client upload a file with a database dump in the format sql.
2. Connect to hosting via SSH.
3. Run the command:

   mysql -h host -u login -p name < way/to/file/dump.sql

   In a team:

   • Instead host, login and name use appropriate data to connect to the databasewhere to import.
   • Instead path / to / file / dump.sql specify the path to the dump file (or just its name if it is in the current directory).
4. Enter database user password. Attention! For security reasons, in Linux systems, when entering a password or pasting it from the clipboard, characters are not displayed on the screen.
5. Wait for the command to complete.
