Hi,

I am trying to import a 3.2Gb sql dump file back into my sql server (4.1.12)
and im coming across the following error:

mysql: Out of memory (Needed 178723240 bytes)
mysql: Out of memory (Needed 178719144 bytes)

That error comes up after about 30 minutes worth of import and I would guess
about half way through the import.

What does "Show Processlist" say its doing just before the crash? I've had problems with Load Data on a very large table 500 million rows because the machine did not have enough memory to build the index. The data was loaded just fine, it's building the index that hung it out to dry because that eats up memory like crazy. How much memory do you have on your machine? The cheapest solution might be to go out and get a few more gb of RAM.

The file in question is a mysqldump
-all-databases file from another server that im trying to import onto my
desktop machine. I have tried to alter the my.cnf file a bit, and this is
what it looks like:

[client]
#password       = your_password
port            = 3306
socket          = /tmp/mysql.sock

[mysqld]
port            = 3306
socket          = /tmp/mysql.sock

key_buffer = 64M
max_allowed_packet = 8M

Does anyone have any advice as to what I could change to make it import, and
not break half way through. The command im running to import is: mysql -n -f
-p < alldb.sql

Thanks in advance,
Ian
