How to import database into vagrant mysql?

Question

In window cmd ,I usually do like this and it is working

C:\Users\davi> mysql -u root -p mydb < D:/xampp/mysql/bin/db.sql

I am new in vagrant , this is what I do in vagrant ssh

[vagrant@localhost bs]$ mysql -u root -p mydb < D:/xampp/mysql/bin/db.sql

But I got this error

-bash: D:/xampp/mysql/bin/db.sql: ??????????????????????

Is there anyway to import correctly ?

Solution

You do not have D:/xampp/mysql/bin/db.sql from your vagrant VM

1. Place the file db.sql in the same folder where you have the Vagrantfile

2. vagrant ssh as you normally do to get into the VM

3. run the following command to import the db

   $ mysql -u root -p mydb < /vagrant/db.sql
   

The /vagrant folder is a default shared folder in the VM.
