Restore DB from a mysqldump file

My brain isn’t working today. What are the exact steps to restore a database from a mysqldump file?

  1. Go to MySQL prompt
  2. Type in Mysql – u root –p NEWdatabasename < c:\temp\databasename_bkp.sql

I keep getting

[code]
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 626

Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the current input statement.

mysql> mysql -u root -p empower < c:\temp\empower.sql
Outfile disabled.
ERROR:
Unknown command ‘\e’.

On windows, I always used the double --'s

[php]mysql –-user=root –-password=yourpassed NEWdatabasename < c:\temp\databasename_bkp.sql[/php]
