The process for importing a MySQL database using the command prompt involves the following steps:

  1. Open the command prompt in the relevant operating system.
  2. Navigate to the folder where the MySQL executable is stored.
  3. Type the command 'mysql -u [username] -p [password] [databasename] < [file.sql]', where [username] is the MySQL account name, [password] is the password for that account, [databasename] is the name of the database that will receive the imported data, and [file.sql] is the name of the file containing the database data to be imported.
  4. Press 'Enter' to execute the command, and monitor the progress of the import process in the command prompt output.
  5. Once the import process is complete, check the database to ensure that the import was successful.
