You can't, for quite a few reasons.  Among them:

You probably created plain bdb files, where MySQL uses the
transaction-based database format.

MySQL can only read records using its key and data formats, and chances
are very near 100% that you didn't create them in MySQL's format :)

You'll need to write a small program/script to extract the data out of
your .db file and insert the records into mysql.
