This topic describes several methods to import SQL files from a local database to a Cloud Web Hosting database.
Confirm the database type that your website uses with your website developer. Then, choose an import method based on the database type:
For a MySQL database, use one of the following methods to import local SQL files:
Import files using DMS. For more information, see Import database files using DMS.
Import files using Navicat. For more information, see Import SQL files using Navicat for MySQL.
Import files using MySQL Command Line Client. For more information, see Import SQL files using MySQL Command Line Client.
For a SQL Server database, use one of the following methods to import local SQL files:
Import files using DMS. For more information, see Import database files using DMS.
Import files using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2008. For more information, see Import SQL Server database data using SSMS.
For an Access database, use an FTP client to upload the database file and web page files together to the website root directory of your Cloud Web Hosting instance.
We recommend that you use DMS to import local SQL files. This method is more convenient than other methods because you do not need to install tools, such as a local MySQL database or a third-party client.
