Once you have deleted it, now create a new one with the same name 'peq'.

Then, open a command prompt (not powershell because it won't take the less than symbol) and type

mysql -h localhost -u root -p peq < PATH TO SQL FILE

then it will prompt you for the password and start the restore.


For me, this looks like:
mysql -h localhost -u root -p peq < "C:\users\MyUser\Desktop\EQEmu\Server\Backups\peq_ 12_01_2020.sql"
Thank you! I hope to never have to use it, but it's good info to have for sure. Thanks again!
