How to install a database?

    I just bought some databases with a simple SQL-file. How do I download this to a wordpress blog? I looked at manage -> Import, but there it was several options to choose from.

    Can I just do it via phpmyadmin and import the sql file so it creates the table from there? Or will this interfere with something?


    Need some help :)

    Hmm...Now I've tried to import it from phpmyadmin, but what do I have to do now? It won't turn up in the site or the admin area, so I'm a little unsure...?
