Db

Db Import

wp db import

Imports a database from a file or from STDIN.

Runs SQL queries using DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD database credentials specified in wp-config.php. This does not create database by itself and only performs whatever tasks are defined in the SQL.

OPTIONS

[<file>] : The name of the SQL file to import. If '-', then reads from STDIN. If omitted, it will look for '{dbname}.sql'.

[--dbuser=<value>] : Username to pass to mysql. Defaults to DB_USER.

[--dbpass=<value>] : Password to pass to mysql. Defaults to DB_PASSWORD.

[--<field>=<value>] : Extra arguments to pass to mysql. Refer to mysql binary docs.

[--skip-optimization] : When using an SQL file, do not include speed optimization such as disabling auto-commit and key checks.

[--defaults] : Loads the environment's MySQL option files. Default behavior is to skip loading them to avoid failures due to misconfiguration.

EXAMPLES

# Import MySQL from a file.
$ wp db import wordpress_dbase.sql
Success: Imported from 'wordpress_dbase.sql'.
