How to Install a MySQL Database using a MySQL Injection Script
That's it! The database should be installed, and you can find the data in whatever table is named at the beginning of the MySQL injection script (open it in notepad to see). The two most likely problems you might run into are unicode translation and script size. Depending on where you got the script, it may be formatted for a different Unicode set than your system normally uses -- if the script won't execute at all, open the script up in notepad and look for strange characters at the beginning of the file (delete them if you find any), then re-run the script. The other problem that might occur is if the injection script is VERY large -- your system may run out of memory or hang while it is trying to load/run the script. In this case, you might want to split the injection script into multiple files that can be executed in sequence. If you need to do this, you can use any program that will split a file BY LINE (not by characters or bytes because you don't want half a command to be in one file and the other half in the next), but a good one to use is SplitFile from rethinkit.com.
Now that you have the capability to install externally obtained MySQL databases using MySQL injection scripts, you may find that it is much easier to acquire databases this way rather than building them yourself from scratch. A good place to get MySQL injection script databases is www.WebContents.org. This is a great way to add large amounts of fresh content to your website, or even content that is not necessary but could be a nice additional feature for your website such as a joke or quote of the day, or food recipes, or rss feeds... the possibilites are endless!
