In this article you will learn how to use the sail db import command to import
a database backup to your production WordPress site.
Sail allows to import any .sql or .sql.gz file to the production database
with sail db import:
sail db import path/to/database-backup.sql.gz
Note that this will overwrite your existing database in production and it is
recommended that you make a database backup first. Also
note that importing a database does not affect the database credentials
defined in the wp-config.php file.
To reset the database credentials and update wp-config.php, use:
sail db reset-password
