Don't do it from within mysql. Do it from your shell prompt.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] directoy]$mysql -p database < database.sql
"-p" is used for prompting for a password. You only need it if you need a password. "<" means to redirect the sql file as input to the mysql command. "database" is the actual name of the database.

Generally it's just sql.
The easiest way would be from a command line on the server.
mysql -p dbname < mydb.sql
