On the command line, you'd use something like mysql -u databaseuser -p databasename < dump.sql
In phpMyAdmin, you'd select the database and then click on the "Operations" button. Now that I think about it, though, you shouldn't even need to move the database if this is all on the same machine: just make a backup and then configure your new files to use the old database.
