Bash: mysqlimport command to write to database without prompt [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to restore the empty DB for mydb table but the syntax of mysqlimport doesn't seem to be straight forward. I had earlier created the file emptyDbs when doing a mysqldump.

mysqlimport mydb/var/tmp/emptyDbs

Answer 1

 mysql statsdb < /var/tmp/emptyDbs
