SQL import

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I use dbutil to save out portions of my MySQL database into plain text SQL files, which works great.
However, I can't seem to figure out how to read the SQL files back in. Right now, I use a system call along the lines of "mysql < myfile.sql", which isn't exactly elegant.

I'm thinking I might have to do something like read the SQL file in, then pipe it line by line to $this->db, but I don't know how. What's the right way to do this?
