import variables into bash script from a config file

Viewed 3034

I would like to import variables like username, password, host name from a config.cfg file so that I can use them inside the bash script file script.sh

user = ""
password = ""
host = ""

how can I do that, so that in the script.sh file I can use the credentials that are set in the config.cfg file to excute the following in the script:

mysqldump --user="$user" --password="$password" --host="$host" $db $tabl > "./backups/$db/$db-$tabl-$time"
