Please bear with me(beginner).

I am planning to set up an application where visitors can login and play/mess around with my application.

So I want to refresh my php application once a day with a cron job.

But I never wrote a cron job script before.

I understand that I have to truncate all the tables/data and add the initial data.

With phpmyadmin, I can import data. Is there any way I can import sql file after truncate the tables?

What is the best way?

Do I have to create table and insert all data?

Help and resources will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
