Laravel - seeding large SQL file

Question

A memory exhaustion happens when I run my DB seed script in production.

Below is my seed script.

class MembershipTableSeeder extends Seeder 
{
    public         


        

Answer 1

The problem happens because when using Db::unprepared it also logs the query to the laravel.log file, making in background much more actions then you think, from this side you have memory exhaust. If you are not running the safe mode I would stick to executing the console command like this:

exec("mysql -u ".\Config::get('database.mysql.user')." -p".\Config::get('database.mysql.password')." ".\Config::get('database.mysql.database')." < script.sql")
