opening database dump on local machine

[daliren]

I have a dump of a database ( 'blahdb.sql' ) from the remote machine. I want to use it to create the database on my home machine. How do I do this? This question seems to be too easy for even the manual to address, but I sure can't figure it out.

On your command-line, run

$ mysql
mysql> create database database_name;
mysql> quit

$ mysql database_name < blahdb.sql
