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

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}
