Sometimes if I work with really huge MySQL databases, I miss the progress bar of the restore progress.
I found a little solution to see the progress

Description:
pv allows a user to see the progress of data through a pipeline, by giving information such as time elapsed, percentage completed (with progress bar), current throughput rate, total data transferred, and ETA.
