How can I import an existing database to my db.py model?

[Gideon George]

I have successfully changed the default sqlite connection to mysql. Now I want to import an exported file (database.sql) which is an existing database. I need help on how I can do this please

You should be able from the shell to do:

db = DAL('myql:....')

db.executesql(open('...../database.sql').read())

assuming the file is not too big and fits in ram.
