import mysql database into mariadb

Question

Tried importing a database backup(.sql) from docker container mysql:5.6 into my local MySQL(MariaDB).

Here is the commands I've used:

mysql -u root -p database_name < /opt/database.sql  
mysql -u root -p  database=database_name </opt/database.sql

Also wanna try mysqlimport but I always encounter the same error.

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.33, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper Copy' at line 1

Can anyone please tell me what is the right syntax on importing database from mysql into mariadb.

@Hackerman thank you for the response but still no luck bro. — Gilroy

You tried to create a dump with mysql command line client instead of mysqldump.
