Is there around workaround for the "<" operator in the VSCode terminal?

I've recently started learning MySQL but i'm having some issues installing a library (.sql file) I have saved using the VSCode CLI. The command I've used to install the library is:

mysql -v < Chinook_MySql_AutoIncrementPKs.sql

But when I run this command I get the error message:

The '<' operator is reserved for future use.

If anyone can help with a workaround for the "<" operator, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@DanielA.White Im using powershell inside VS Code on Windows 10 – Delroy Brown Jul 28 '20 at 20:43
@MartinSmith Thanks for the suggestion Martin but this way didn't work for me when installing the library – Delroy Brown Jul 28 '20 at 20:44
which way? There are multiple suggestions in the linked Q – Martin Smith Jul 28 '20 at 20:45
use cmd /c 'mysql -v < Chinook_MySql_AutoIncrementPKs.sql' – nbk Jul 28 '20 at 20:45
@nbk Thanks for the suggestion but this route returns the error "The term '/c' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" – Delroy Brown Jul 28 '20 at 20:49
@MartinSmith I've tried the "Get-content" route and the "cmd /c" root – Delroy Brown Jul 28 '20 at 20:50
OK Maybe too hasty with the close vote then. Have voted to reopen – Martin Smith Jul 28 '20 at 20:54
@DelroyBrown i run it in the **terminal** and it runs without a problem- – nbk Jul 28 '20 at 20:56
@nbk When i run the "cmd /c" command i either get nothing happening or the error message "The term '/c' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" – Delroy Brown Jul 28 '20 at 20:59
PS C:\Users\me> cmd /c 'mysql -v < Chinook_MySql_AutoIncrementPKs.sql' runs without problems as i saidi in the powershell terminal – nbk Jul 28 '20 at 21:07
