How to Import large sql database files into MySql, PhpMyAdmin allows us to import sql files into MySQL database, but it has a restriction of up-to 2 Mega Bytes in localhost, what if you want to import an 125 Mega Bytes of SQL file. That’s a huge file but once i have to upload the same sized file, it took me less than a minute to import that much SQL file using the MySql Console. Simply open up MySql command prompt console, and log-in with the user-name and password. If you want to import it into an existing database then type following command.
Select Database – Import large sql database files into MySql
This below command selects the database
[sql]USE your_database_name;[/sql]
