I have a large sql file exported from an excel sheet when import it to a new mysql db it gives an error i downloaded a bigdump script to load it but i encountered a problem in uploading the large file !!! i heared that there is another way to do that is to partition the sql file into small parts by some programs how can I find this software ??
If you're using a web-based tool to import, try gzipping the file.sql dump into file.sql.gz first. Importing the db through an SSH shell instead of through the web will work for very large files. Avoid FTPing your database if it contains sensitive information, unless your FTP client and the FTP support SFTP or FTPS for secure FTP. SSH is a more secure route if you have access.
