  1. Open the command line : Click Windows + r, type cmd and enter
  2.  Copy the mysql path from bin folder i.e. Copy path : D:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.11\bin\,  and set the same path in the command line
  3.  Run MySQL in command line i.e MySQL -u root -p
  4.  It will ask for MYSQL root password. Enter password ( if it is empty, simply press enter )
  5. To create a new database, run the following command line i.e CREATE DATABASE db_name . Replace db_name with the name of the database you want to create
  6.  To import the tables in the new or existing database, type the following in command : USE db_name;
  7.  Copy the path of the database from where you want to import the database. Enter the source for the db with command : SOURCE [path to sql]
