Importing zipped files in Mysql using command line

Question

Importing zipped files in Mysql using CMD

What is the right syntax to import sql zipped files into mysql using cmd ?

I am doing the following

xz < backup.sql.gz | mysql -u root test 

But always getting the following error

Answer 1

Try:

unzip -p dbdump.sql.zip | mysql -u root -p yourdbname 

The dbdump.sql.zip should contain a single SQL file. The -p flag pipes the output into the mysql binary.

Answer 2

I got the answer from my other question. This is the command to import zipped file when you are using 7zip

7z x -so backup.7z | mysql -u root test

x is the extraction command

-so option makes 7-zip write to stdout
