I'm trying to import and open a connection to mysql on my local computer. I have made an sql dump called frontend.sql
I did the following in mySQL workbench query:
CREATE DATABASE frontend;
USE frontend;
These queries were successful. Then I did
SOURCE "C:\Users\John\Downloads\frontend.sql";
Which gives the following error code:
Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SOURCE C:\Users\John\Downloads\frontend.sql' at line 1
How do I import the database?

You open a console where you can execute mysql
then hit this:
mysql -u username -p frontend < C:\Users\John\Downloads\frontend.sql
