How to easily import multiple sql files into a MyS

Question

I have several sql files and I want to import all of them at once into a MySQL database.

I go to PHPMyAdmin, access the database, click import, select a file and import it. When I have more than a couple of files it takes a long time.

I would like to know if there is a better way to import multiple files, something like one file which will import the other files or similar.

I'm using WAMP and I would like a solution that does not require installing additional programs on my computer.

Answer 1

This is the easiest way that I have found.

In Windows (powershell):

cat *.sql | C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.21\bin\mysql.exe -u user -p database

You will need to insert the path to your WAMP - MySQL above, I have used my systems path.

In Linux (Bash):

cat *.sql | mysql -u user -p database

Answer 2

Just type below command on your command prompt & it will bind all sql file into single sql file,

c:/xampp/mysql/bin/sql/ type *.sql > OneFile.sql;
