Importing a database from a file To import a file, open Workbench and click on + next to the MySQL connections option. Fill in the fields with the connection information. Once connected to the database go to Data Import/Restore. Choose the option Import from Self-Contained File and select the file.
The most common reason for the MySQL server has gone away error is that the server timed out and closed the connection. In this case, you normally get one of the following error codes (which one you get is operating system-dependent). The client couldn't send a question to the server.
Use the --force (-f) flag on your mysql import. Rather than stopping on the offending statement, MySQL will continue and just log the errors to the console.
For example:
mysql -u userName -p -f -D dbName < script.sql
