The suffix doesn't matter. But inside it there should be a plain text file in UNIX 
format of newline chars.

To ensure that please do the following (suppose your "script" is called file.txt):

perl -n -e 's/\r//g;print;' < file.txt > file.sql

and then ...

JH> - What command do I use : mysql < file_name <<<<<< Is this correct

 ... use that command with file.sql:

     mysql < file.sql

Please don't forget to supply username and password for mysql client.
