Re: Transferring Databases
You need to login to the mysql client program and then use the source command: for example login with: mysql -u root -p once running type: source dumpfilename.sql If you can't do it this way, consider using an alternate GUI program like mysql-front (mysqlfront.de). That's it! Hope it helps. Craig Ostrander At 07:56 PM 4/13/2002, you wrote: Hi-- I'm trying to transfer information from a MySQL database on one server to a MySQL database on another server. I am using PHPMyAdmin. For small tables in the database, no problem. I just do the dump (data and structure) to a file. Then i either copy the contents of that file into the 'Run SQL query/queries' dialog box or upload it from the file using browse. Quick and easy. But for moderate size (e.g., 232 KB) files it's not working. The file dump is fine, but when i try to paste in the contents from the file into the dialog box it doesn't take. No error message or anything ... it just doesn't show (too big?). Also when i try to upload via the 'browse' option it doesn't work. Any ideas. there's gotta be a way to transfer these large data files ... that's what MySQL's all about, right?
