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

In MAMP, You could load huge files by :

1. creating a new folder in this directory /MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/"folderName"

2. and then edit "/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php" line 531 :

      $cfg['UploadDir']= 'folderName';   
   

3. Copy your .sql or .csv Files into this folder.

4. Now you will have another option in "PhpMyAdmin" : Select from the web server upload directory newFolder/: You could select your file and import it.

   You could load any file now !!
