Q:

How can I make an exact duplicate of my sql database?

I want to make a duplicate of mysql database. So in my database a I went to export and exported the whole database. I received a file named a.sql. Then I went to my new database with the name b and went to import and tried to import my file a.sql But nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

A:

I would use Sequel Pro.
Once you establish connection with your db:
File > Import > Browse to your SQL file...
Shouldn't have any issues using this
