Question

I want to import an SQL file (size > 500MB) into a database. I have wamp on my PC. Phpmyadmin does not work well with this size. I changed all parameters in php.ini (max_upload_

Answer 1

Related to importing, if you are having issues importing a file with bulk inserts and you're getting MYSQL GONE AWAY, lost connection or similar error, open your my.cnf / my.ini and temporarily set your max_allowed_packet to something large like 400M

Remember to set it back again after your import!

Answer 2

TRY THIS

  C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql -u {username} -p {databasename} < {filepath}

if username=root ,filepath='C:/test.sql', databasename='test' ,password ='' then command will be

  C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql -u root  test < C:/test.sql

Answer 3

If you don't have password you can use the command without

-u

Like this

C:\wamp>bin\mysql\mysql5.7.11\bin\mysql.exe -u {User Name} {Database Name} < C:\File.sql

Or on the SQL console

mysql -u {User Name} -p {Database Name} < C:/File.sql

Answer 4

To import database from dump file use:

mysql -u UserName -p Password DatabaseName < FileName.sql 

In wamp

C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.51b\bin>mysql mysql -uroot -p DatabaseName < FileName.sql
