nitromaster Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi Basically I have a dump of an sql file for my site, from a previous hosting which has now expired. Got new hosting, need to import it. It's only 2MB, pretty small i guess, but I have a really shit connection, and so far have fail to upload it to phpmyadmin via my web browser. Any idea on the best way to upload it would be? I was thinking of splitting it, but how? Or any other ideas would be great.

nitromaster Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi Yes I have ftp support. I tried using bigdump but this kept throwing "delimiter" errors. How would I do it via command line?

abazoskib Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html use the 'load LOCAL...' version, and point it to the file you uploaded by ftp. you can set field and line delimiters too. hope you get everything sorted.
