i have a database for a forum which is abou 200kb however i cant upload anything more thanabout 50kb, is this something that my host has set? and also as the database is gzip, is it something i can split up and upload in 3-4 sections?
50kb is nothing ... do you mean 50 mb ? in that case the simplest solution is : extract the db file, split the file where the create table statement begins and upload it in parts using the import function (you may also get an error like : max execution time exceeded) which means you'll have to split it even further. If the file has single inserts (each insert is separate) then you can break these as well.
no i mean 50kb, and my database is about 200kb, has about 200 members and its been zpped up. So its my host who is being too tight with the restrictions?
