MAMP, import db by command line

  1. Open a new terminal windows
  2. /applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysql -u [USERNAME] -p [DATABASE_NAME] < [PATH_TO_SQL_FILE]
  3. Hit the Enter Key
  4. Example: /applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysql -u root -p wordpress_db < /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/backupDB.sql

If ask you a password, insert the database ones.

 

That’s all folks.
