how do i create a mysql database from a "script"

I'm a newby here as well as to mysql and coldfusion.

I'm a business owner who had previously designed my own relational database system for my company (smartware) and used it sucessfully for many years. I have recently paid for a new web based system and decided to go with a programmer that built a coldfusion mx/mysql system.

There are a number of features and procedures that are not working correctly and my programmer is telling me that I'll have to pay him more to fix these items (I'm pretty upset at this point).

He just provided me with the coldfusion source code/files as well as "code" for the db. What he gave me for the db was a single file (an .SQL file). It appears to be a single "script" creating and enetring data into the tables for the db.

How can I take this file and actually "create" my database... once I have this it seems fairly easy to connect with coldfusion so that I can start some debugging on my own.

Please help... Thanks
