                          I have a large-ish (several GB) mysql DB that I'm planning to import via

    mysql -u root -p mydb < mydb.sql

in a SSH session.

What would happen if my SSH connection drops?

Is it safer to run something like

    nohup mysql -u root -p mydb < mydb.sql

Or does mysql not care? 

Using the following

- MySQL 5.1.45   
- CentOS 5.x
