Mysql load dump

[Mike Bonner]

DOH, I see it in the subject now.

If you can get to a command line where the db server resides, you can use
the mysql client to do the import, or if phpmyadmin is available, you can
use its interface to import the dump.  IIRC livecode doesn't like sending
multi-line sql to mysql (though it works in sqlite) so it might be possible
to parse the file line by line and send each line in sequence.  (No clue
what other hoops you might need to jump through to do this though. )
