How to Import 1GB .sql file to WAMP/phpmyadmin

mysql sql phpmyadmin wamp

I suspect you will be able to import 1 GB file through phpmyadmin But you can try by increasing the following value in php.ini and restart the wamp.

post_max_size=1280Mupload_max_filesize=1280Mmax_execution_time = 300 //increase time as per your server requirement.

You can also try below command from command prompt, your path may be different as per your MySQL installation.

C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\bin\mysql.exe -u root -p db_name < C:\some_path\your_sql_file.sql

You should increase the max_allowed_packet of mysql in my.ini to avoid MySQL server gone away error, something like this

max_allowed_packet = 100M

Step 1: Find the config.inc.php file located in the phpmyadmin directory. In my case it is located here:

C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.4.5\config.inc.php

Note: phymyadmin3.4.5 folder name is different in different version of wamp

Step 2: Find the line with $cfg['UploadDir'] on it and update it to:

$cfg['UploadDir'] = 'upload';

Step 3: Create a directory called ‘upload’ within the phpmyadmin directory.

C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\upload\

Step 4: Copy and paste the large sql file into upload directory which you want importing to phymyadmin

Step 5: Select sql file from drop down list from phymyadmin to import.

The values indicated by Ram Sharma might need to be changed in Wamp alias configuration files instead.

In <wamp_dir>/alias/phpmyadmin.conf, in the <Directory> section:

  php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 1280M  php_admin_value post_max_size 1280M  php_admin_value max_execution_time 1800
