How do I upload my .sql file so I can import it?

I did a search and didn't' find any examples of how to migrate from another mysql database on a different server.

How do I get my upload my .sql file and reference it with the import command?

Thansk!

I don't know how you upload files to your server - sftp or scp should work.

As far as using the import command, try the following:

dokku mysql:help import

I'll check it out.

Will it only import dump files or will it accept .sql?

For others that come across this same issue. I found this:

dokku mysql:create db_name
dokku mysql:link db_name app_name

sftp root@ipmydroplet
put localdirectory/filename

dokku mysql:import db_name < filename

It just calls the mysql bin in the container and pipes the file into it.
