This tip is very similar to how to “[Execute a SQL file via the MySQL command line in one line][1]” only this time specifying the DB you want to execute the script against and being prompted for your password…

mysql -u user -p -h localhost MyDb < ~/SQL/script.sql[1]: http://markjacobsen.net/2012/12/execute-a-sql-file-via-the-mysql-command-line-in-one-line/

Have a large script (like a DB dump) you want to execute from the command line in one line so you can just drop it in a batch/shell script and run with it? Assuming MySql is on your system path, here’s the command…

mysql -u user -ppass < C:\temp\myscript.sql

Where “user” is the username, and “pass” is the password (note, there’s no space or other delimiter between the “-p” and the password)
