Overview

TencentDB for MySQL supports importing SQL files in the console. This feature allows you to execute SQL statements in the selected database. You can also use this feature to create databases/tables and change table structure so as to initialize or modify the instance.

Note：

Only two-node and three-node TencentDB for MySQL instances support importing SQL files.

Directions

1. Log in to the TencentDB for MySQL console. In the instance list, click an instance ID or Manage in the Operation column to enter the instance management page.
2. Select Database Management > Database List and click Import Data.
   
3. On the pop-up page, click Add File to import the file. After the upload is completed, click Next.

   Note：

   • To avoid database unavailability caused by corruption of system tables, please do not import data from system tables such as the mysql.user table.

   • A single SQL file to be imported cannot exceed 2 GB. The filename can only contain letters, digits, and underscores.
