I keep coming back to this question of how to query a DB snapshot and ended up throwing together a collection of Docker calls that pull up phpmyadmin for a .sql dump file. This isn't exactly a lightweight solution, but it's quick (after bringing in the Docker images the first time, anyway) and the created databases and servers are disposable.
With the (imperfect and OSX-specific) script below, it's a one-liner to pull in or start up the relevant Docker machines, load in the dump file to the mysql server, and pop open a browser with phpmyadmin pointed to the relevant database:
#!/bin/bash
ROOT_PWD=root
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "Need a dump file"
exit 1
fi
dump="$1"
IP=$( docker-machine ip default )
if ! $( docker ps | grep -q "dump_db$" ); then
# create the data container
docker create --name dump_data -v /var/lib/mysql mysql
# run the sql server
docker run --name dump_db \
--volumes-from dump_data -v /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql \
-e MYSQL_USER=mysql -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=mysql \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=dump -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=$ROOT_PWD \
-it -p 3306:3306 -d mysql
# wait for it to be up and running...
mysql_port=$( docker port dump_db | grep "3306/tcp" | awk -F: '{print $2;}' )
while ! curl http://$IP:$mysql_port/
do
echo "waiting for mysql server..."
sleep 1
done
fi
# upload the dump
docker exec -i dump_db mysql -uroot -p$ROOT_PWD dump < $dump
if ! $( docker ps | grep -q "dump_phpmyadmin$" ); then
# run phpmyadmin
docker run -d --link dump_db:mysql -e MYSQL_USERNAME=root --name dump_phpmyadmin -p 80 ahebrank/phpmyadmin
fi
web_port=$( docker port dump_phpmyadmin | grep "80/tcp" | awk -F: '{print $2;}' )
open "http://$IP:$web_port/db_structure.php?server=1&db=dump"

This isn't really different from the original answer to load the file into a local mysql server. But it's three years later and containers make the provisioning and... well, containerization a little easier.
