Im trying to import a pretty big .sql file with data grip. It's called file.sql and I need it in the schemas section. But it only allows me to upload it under a schema file. Will it still work?
Yes, it'll be fine.
Also, there're several ways to run "big" files:
Attach a file to project and execute Run
Run from Database Tool window via Run SQL Script or use mysql

I have multiple tables to create in my current project (each CREATE in its own .sql file) and the order of creation is important, so I'd like one file to create them all in the proper order when I create a new database. This is not a show-stopper, just an inconvenience. In MySQL (using phpMyAdmin) I'd like a single .sql file that will execute multiple other .sql files. I'm looking for something equivalent to Oracle's ability with the "#" sign (or keyword "start"):
#create_users.sql
#create_services.sql
Does MySql/phpMyAdmin have a similar command as Oracle to do this?
The mysql client has a command source that you can put into a .sql file. It reads another .sql file that you name.
This is analogous to the command of the same name in some POSIX shell scripting languages.
You might like to read this manual page to understand other built-in commands of the MySQL client: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/mysql-commands.html
Re your comment: You asked in your question above if MySQL/phpMyAdmin has a similar command. MySQL does.
phpMyAdmin is not a product of MySQL, it's an independent community tool, and it does not have a similar command. phpMyAdmin has an import tab, with which you can upload one .sql file at a time.
The .sql files read by phpMyAdmin don't support all the same built-in commands that the command-line mysql client supports. For example, it does not support the source command, because that would require the web application phpMyAdmin to somehow read additional files from your computer. Web applications can't do that (and it's a good thing they can't).
I have a mysqldump from an SQL server and i want to open it in a program like MySQL Workbench or DBeaver so that i can easily search it and remove some values etc.
I'm trying to use MySQL Workbench however am unsure if i can import this SQL DUMP directly into here from the file like this. I have created in a new model and clicked import and it seems to show all my tables however they are empty.
Is this possible and how would i go about this?
MySQL Workbench can restore a dump without loading it first into an editor (and hence can even handle gigabyte sized dumps). For this go to the Data Import/Restore admin section,
select your dump, set options (e.g. what of the dump to restore) and click Start Import to start the process.
However this doesn't allow to change the dump and because of usual dump sizes even browsing them is often not possible. You can try to load the dump file into an editor if it is not too large (say around 250MB, depending on system RAM). If it is much larger you can only try special tools like hex editors (which load large files piece by piece).
As far as I remember, MySQLDump exports the database to an sql script with a .sql file extension?
In MySQL Workbench, open this file Using File->Open SQL Script or alternatively CTRL+SHIFT+O
Running the script should then create the database
Accidentally I exported all my mySQL databases to a single .sql file. I want to create those databases again in my development environment. When I try to import the file via PHPMyAdmin I get the following error message:
What should I do? Could you please help me?
If you look at the error, it says no Database selected.
You need to create an identical Database and import it from their.
You cannot just import a whole database, as it does not work.
Let me know if this solves,
Bryce
*also, make sure the files are speared by database, as this could make the error also, as the import can only import one in one file
I am currently working on a project that requires an automated export of a CSV file from mySQL. I am using Cpanel with phpMyAdmin.
This is not an export of the entire database so I am unable to simply set a CRON task to do a mySQLDump. I have a procedure in place that links together the tables I need and a way to run that procedure as a scheduled task, but I now need a way to actually export the CSV with the data in that procedure creates and save the CSV file on the server.
Any ideas how to do this please?
I think you will need to write a script to do the custom export.
If you are familiar with PHP, you can use the MySQLi library to connect to the database: http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php
Once you have the rows to export, you can write them to a CSV file using: http://php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php
Finally, setup a cron to run the script as frequently as needed.
For example:
* * * * * /usr/bin/php my_export_script.php
If I have a cms, shopping cart, or some db based web script and lets say it has a database with like 50 tables
If I have a .sql file (call it patch.sql) that has a few ALTER commands and some UPDATE commands, I can goto phpmyadmin, import the patch.sql file and it will "apply" the changes to my db.
But lets say I export my db to a mydb.sql file first
Is there a way to "apply" the changes from "patch.sql" to "mydb.sql" without using a database?
I figured some command line like
mysql.exe merge patch.sql mydb.sql
or something but I didn't see anything like that.
Is phpmyadmin with a database the only way?
If your goal is to be able to later reimport mydb.sql and get the patched version of the database, then no, there are no tools to do that. patch.sql may has altered the structure of the database as well as the data itself based on your description. What you should do is apply the patch to your database, then export your db to a new .sql file.
