+OLD METHOD

 From the command line:\\
+\\
+First you must login to MySQL
+\\
+        mysql -u root -p — (the root part assumes root is your mysql username)
+\\
+To restore a database, use the following command:
+\\
+        mysql database_name < database_name.sql
+\\
+In the code above, database_name is the name of the database you want to restore, and database_name.sql is the name of the backup file to be restored.
+\\
+\\
+If you are trying to restore a single database from dump of all the databases, you have to let mysql know like this:
+\\
+        mysql --one-database database_name < all_databases.sql
