Answer 1

I had the same problem when trying to import a Wordpess MySQL dump to a new server. In the end after an hour debugging I had to manually remove the following tables from the .sql file:

wp_cf7dbplugin_st wp_cf7dbplugin_submits

There were some really large values (possibly PDF files) stored in some of the fields which were causing a problem.

Imported fine after I removed the tables from the script.

2. Stop Apache and MySql services>

3. Click on Config of Apache>select php.ini and change the followings:
   max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = 600
memory_limit = 1024M
post_max_size = 1024M
   

4. Click on Config button of MySql and select my.ini and change:
   max_allowed_packet = 1024M

Answer 3

I had the same error when I tried to migrate Drupal database to a new local apache server(I am using XAMPP on Windows machine). Actually I don't know the meaning of this error, but after trying steps below, I imported the database without errors. Hope this could help:

Changing php.ini at C:\xampp\php\php.ini

max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = 600
memory_limit = 1024M
post_max_size = 1024M

Changing my.ini at C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini

max_allowed_packet = 1024M

Answer 4

This happens because of the importing connectivity issue with phpmyadmin when you import large DB, here is how you can import large data base to the phpmyadmin. First change the following files according to your DB size.

---

Changing php.ini at C:\xampp\php\php.ini

max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = 600
memory_limit = 1024M
post_max_size = 1024M

Changing my.ini at C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini

max_allowed_packet = 1024M

---

then run the shell from xampp control panel and enter the following command.

#mysql -p -u root DBname < c:\xampp\DBfolder\db.sql

EnterPassword: (usually it is blank).

then the process will start. :):):)

For me my main goal was to make a stage site for my wordpress site, which had wordfence on it.

I was using plesk obsidian and had to update mariadb to get past the error in the main question here Error (near “ON” at position 25) while importing Table for WORDPRESS ( A foreign key Error) which I was able to do by reading this blog article - https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213403429-How-to-upgrade-MySQL-5-5-to-5-6-5-7-or-MariaDB-5-5-to-10-0-10-1-10-2-on-Linux-

That took forever but got me passed the above error, but then I was getting this error on db import:

#1062 - Duplicate entry '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xEF\xBF\xBD\xEF\xBF\xBD' for key 'PRIMARY' when find and replace domain on wordfence

I was doing the domain find and replace in vscode "mydomain.com" with "stage.mydomain.com". The problem turned out to be that wordfence saves binary data or something to the database, and just opening it in vscode and saving it was altering that somehow, and thus throwing obscure duplicate entry error for primary key

The fix for the above was to not open, or alter, the .sql file in vscode but to do the find in replace with linux. This was the commands I ran to do this on Mac -

find and replace http: with https: -

perl -pi -w -e 's/http:\/\/mydomain.com/https:\/\/mydomain.com/g;' my_db_file.sql

find and replace mydomain.com with stage.mydomain.com -

perl -pi -w -e 's/mydomain.com/stage.mydomain.com/g;' my_db_file.sql
