mySQL question

[Anon]

I have a forum script. In the install it says:

4)Now fill the databases:

mysql newman < dump.sql

but I have win2000. My webserver is win2000.
how do I perform this step above?
Can someone tell me who to get in consolemode with mySQL. Or can someone tell me how i can perform the action in graphical mode.

do it from the command line, in your case, open up your MS-DOS Prompt or do a Run and type 'command'.

Then at the prompt, type:
mysql newman < dump.sql
assuming that mysql is defined in your path.

or.. you could install phpMyAdmin and use their web interface to help you deal with running SQL files.
