Question

I have been trying to import Database through phpMyAdmin  My database file is a sql and it s size is 1 2 GB  I am trying to import this on local and phpMyAdmin is saying      You probably tried to upload too large file  Please refer to documentation for ways to workaround this limit    Please help I really need this to work

Another option that nobody here has mentioned yet is to do a staggered load of the database using a tool like BigDump to work around the limit  It s a simple PHP script that loads a chunk of the database at a time before restarting itself and moving on the the next chunk

You no need to edit php ini or any thing  I suggest best thing as Just use MySQL WorkBench    JUST FOLLOW THE STEPS   Install MySQL WorkBench 6 0  And In  Navigation panel  Left side  there is option call  Data import  under  MANAGEMENT   Click that and  follow steps below    click Import Self-Contained File and choose your SQL file Go to My Document and create folder call  dump  simple   now you ready to upload file  Click IMPORT Button on down

If you do not want to change the settings or play with command line  There is option to compress the file and upload in phpMyAdmin  It should bring down the size considerably

User · Answer

Its due to PHP that has a file size restriction for uploads    If you have terminal shell access then the above answers  Kyotoweb will work   one way to get it done is that you create an  htaccess ini file file to change PHP settings to get the sql file uploaded through PHPmyAdmin   php value upload max filesize 120M   file size php value post max size 120M php value max execution time 200 php value max input time 200   Note you should remove this file after upload

You can also try compressing  zipping  the file   It sometimes works for me if I can t get to php ini for phpmyadmin   If zipping reduces the file size below the maximum file size  it just might work
