Topic awaiting preservation: File redirection in windows (Page 1 of 1)

I'm trying to populate a MySQL database with a .sql file using a file redirect like so:

>mysql -h localhost -u username databasename -p < myfile.sql

all I keep getting is a run of the help options for MySQL. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Thanks for your suggestions.

"databasename" parameter should go after "-p" parameter, like this:

mysql -h localhost -u username -p databasename < myfile.sql

Thanks mr.maX!
