Why is “<” input redirect not implemented in PowerShell?
Why is input redirection not implemented in PowerShell?
To do something like this:
mysql -u root < create.sql
I had to switch to "cmd.exe".
Is there an alternative way of doing this in PowerShell?
Please note that the output redirection ">" is implemented in PowerShell. Please consider this before giving an answer.

Since you gave piping a script tomysqlas your example, I thought I should point you to this in case you try to use Powershell to pipe a backup.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Granted, not the best solution, but a nice hack, without having to switch back to dos-prompt.

Although I'm not entirely sure that this question belongs on Stack Overflow, have you looked at the PS Cmdlet for Get-Content? Look how it's used in the examples on TechNet in Using the Get-Content Cmdlet.
Example:
Get-Content c:scriptstest.txt | Foreach-Object Get-Wmiobject -computername $_ win32_bios
Update: Above link to TechNet is broken, but mentioned in comment by Chad Miller Scripting Guy's post Working Around Legacy Redirection Issues with PowerShell gives three options: -use CMD /c, Echo, and Get-Content.
