I forgot the commands you use to upload a database or dump it whatever you want to call it.... In shell

I have my whole database, I downloaded it from phpMyAdmin, and I want to transfer it back over to a new machine... what are the commands to put it back in there?

Is their also a manner to dump ALL databases. Because that is needed when updating MySQL

Or just:
mysqldump --opt -uUSERNAME -p databasename > /path/to/dump.sql

If you have mysqldump, :)
