How to import table into mysql db?

Question

MySQL

Request to import the entire database from filename into the dbname database

$ mysql -u username -p -h localhost dbname < filename.sql

There is a database, I want to import a table into it, but so that all existing tables are not overwritten (table names are different, there are no matches). The above query will allow this? Will it overwrite the entire dbname database ?

Answer 1

Add with the same command, the old tables will not overwrite
