Import Mysql Dump in container

Sometimes you just want to import your own MySQL backup file.

This can be done in a very easy way, even without bind-mounting or copying the file into the container. It also does not have to do with dockware, so it would also work in a plain MySQL container.

Import using Terminal

Run this command, and it will automatically import the backup.sql file from your database folder into your MySQL instance.

// Import script for mysql
// make sure to create if NEWDB eixist or else create new one
docker exec -i shop mysql -uroot -proot NEWDB < Users/demon/Downloads/Existing.sql
