Why can't I import a table through the console on an Ubuntu server?

Question

linux

Went into MySQL:

mysql -u user -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 833524
Server version: 10.1.43-MariaDB MariaDB Server

Selected base:

MariaDB [(none)]> use mydatabase
Database changed

And I import:

MariaDB [mydatabase]>  < /var/www/user/data/www/site.ru/backup/file.sql;

Mistake:

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '< /var/www/user/data/www/site.ru/backup/file.sql' at line 1

This is also an error:

MariaDB [mydatabase]> mydatabase < /var/www/user/data/www/site.ru/backup/file.sql;

Answer 1

If you are already running mysql, you can execute an SQL script file using the source command or \. command:

mysql> source file_name
mysql> \. file_name
