Thesqldump reimport isn’t working correctly

MySQLmysqldump

I am trying to restore this database from a my sql file, but I'm only getting the following output, and it's not importing anything into my db. Any thoughts?

[root@domU-12-31-39-0B-06-AA data]# mysqldump --host=localhost --password=abc1234 --    user=root --single-transaction blink10 < /data/tt.sql
-- MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 5.1.52, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64)
--
-- Host: localhost    Database: blink10
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version       5.1.52

I might be missing something, but instead of using mysqldump, use mysql which is the command line client program:

mysql -uuser -ppassword -hhost blink10 < /data/tt.sql

This assumes there are actual SQL staetments in your tt.sql file, such as CREATE TABLE and INSERT, etc
