Question

How can I import a large (14 GB) MySQL dump file into a new MySQL database?

Answer 1

Have you tried just using the mysql command line client directly?

mysql -u username -p -h hostname databasename < dump.sql

If you can't do that, there are any number of utilities you can find by Googling that help you import a large dump into MySQL, like BigDump
