There are two ways to import an SQL file in XAMPP:
Using phpMyAdmin
- Start the Apache and MySQL services in XAMPP.
- Open your web browser and go to
localhost/phpmyadmin
. - Log in to phpMyAdmin using the default username and password (usually
root
and ``). - Click on the "Import" tab.
- Click on the "Choose File" button and select the SQL file that you want to import.
- Click on the "Go" button.
Using the command line
- Start the Apache and MySQL services in XAMPP.
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the
xampp/mysql/bin
directory. - Type the following command:
mysql -u root -p < your_sql_file.sql
Replace your_sql_file.sql
with the name of your SQL file.
The -u
option specifies the username, -p
specifies the password, and <
redirects the input from the file.
Once the import is complete, you can verify that the data has been imported by going to localhost/phpmyadmin
and browsing the database.
Here are some additional tips for importing SQL files in XAMPP:
- Make sure that the SQL file is in the correct format. The SQL file must be a text file that contains valid SQL statements.
- If the SQL file is large, it may take some time to import.
- If you encounter any errors during the import, check the error log in the
xampp/apache/logs
directory.
