Ubuntu Installation: the < operator is reserved for future use [duplicate]

Im trying to import a dumpfile.sql in the Windows Powershell with:

mysql -u root -p --database=database < Backup.sql

but i get the following error:

At <script-path>:1 char:34
+ mysql -u root -p --database=database < Backup.sql
+                                      ~ 
The '<' operator is reserved for future use..
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RedirectionNotSupported

If i try to escape the "<"

mysql -u root -p --database=database ^< Backup.sql

I only get a list of all options.

Maybe the problem arose due to the update to Windows 11.

Solution 1:

Did you tried to pipie the backup file to the mysql exe like this:

get-content 'Backup.sql' | mysql.exe -u root -p --database=database

another option to run it using cmd from the powershell

& cmd /c "mysql.exe -u root -p --database=database < backup.sql"
