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

Ok you use PHPMyAdmin but sometimes the best way is through terminal:

• Connect to database: mysql -h localhost -u root -p (switch root and localhost for user and database location)
• Start import from dump: \. /path/to/your/file.sql
• Go take a coffe and brag about yourself because you use terminal.

And that's it. Just remember if you are in a remote server, you must upload the .sql file to some folder.
