How to import large sql file in phpmyadmin

Question

I want to import a sql file of approx 12 mb. But its causing problem while loading. Is there any way to upload it without splitting the sql file ?

Answer 1

I was able to import a large .sql file by having the following configuration in httpd.conf file:

Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"
<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Require all granted

    php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 128M
    php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
    php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
    php_admin_value max_input_time 360
</Directory>

Answer 2

Try to import it from mysql console as per the taste of your OS.

mysql -u {DB-USER-NAME} -p {DB-NAME} < {db.file.sql path}

or if it's on a remote server use the -h flag to specify the host.

mysql -u {DB-USER-NAME} -h {MySQL-SERVER-HOST-NAME} -p {DB-NAME} < {db.file.sql path}

Answer 3

You will have to edit the php.ini file. change the following upload_max_filesize post_max_size to accommodate your file size.

Trying running phpinfo() to see their current value. If you are not at the liberty to change the php.ini file directly try ini_set()

If that is also not an option, you might like to give bigdump a try.
