Hey.

Your first attempt was close.
However, the --u parameter is to vague, like the error it gives says:
mysql: ambiguous option '--u=root ' (unbuffered, user)
It could refer to either "user" or "unbuffered".

You just need to be more specific:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. mysql --user=root --password=amit < mysql.sql
That should work.
