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

PHPmyadmin also accepts compressed files in gzip format, so you can gzip the file (Use 7Zip if you don't have any) and upload the zipped file. Since its a text file, it will have a good compress ratio.
