After getting a handle on the CLI, phpMyAdmin is a pain to use, so I'm glad to have come across this workaround for MAMP. As for getting to the mySQL command line as lazily as possible, I went this route: cd ~ vi .bash_profile Use the vi editor to add this to your profile: # mysql command line access for mamp alias db="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -uroot -p" Save your change, quit vi editor, and reload your profile (. ~/.bash_profile). Now you can just type "db" and you'll be prompted for your MAMP root password. Very helpful, I ran into the same issue as Michael, having a database too large to import with phpMyAdmin.

I had a huge database to Import that was too big for phpMyAdmin, so I just went in to MySQL using Terminal as described and used the source statement to import the database. It took about 30 seconds. Thanks. Definitely took me out of a jam.

Just going to start an "Intro to SQL" course using mySQL at eclasses.org, and wasn't sure how to get SQL commands working in MAMP. Thanks very much in advance.
