Cannot access Mysql from command line

[tektippee]

I run MAMP 1.61 on a Mac 10.6.2.

I would like to add a new database from a
large sql file that phpMyAdmin cannot handle.
But when I type into the Mac's terminal
"mysql" - it does not find this command.

I used "cd" to go to:
me/applications/MAMP/Library/bin
where I see many mysql command files - but still
"mysql" yields "command not found".

And by the way, can you also show me what
command I would use to upload this file
to a new database called "newdb"?

Once you find and can access mysql,
mysql> create database newdb;
mysql> \. /path/to/file.sql

mysql should start reading the file and loading it, provided the create info is also in the file.

I'm not too familiar with Macs, but I'd try


locate mysql
cd whereveritwasfound
./mysql

does it have an extention on MAC's like .exe on windows ?.
Probabby a stupid question as it's realy UNIX I believe.
