Import the dump into MySQL if you haven't already.
Ok, something like this (?):
mysql -u root -p WIKIdb < dump-of-old-WIKIdb.sql
Tweak your mysql config to point to the database with the dump.
How, where? Sorry, I am a complete noob.
Thanks for your help Matthias

LocalSettings
You can dump db overwrite the current functioning db with your new install which means no changes in localsettings. Or create a new db with new user or give current db user permissions. That means you have to make changes in localsettings.
Run update.php script and check wiki. Once you have a functioning wiki probably not a bad idea to run the rebuild all script.
