Load huge sql dump to mySql

I have a huge mysql dump file generated from phpmyAdmin (150 000 lines of create table, inserts....)

The mySql query tool fails to open such a big file. As a result i can't insert all the records.

Is there a way to开发者_运维技巧 do this ? Thanks John

The solution to restore large mysql database from sql dump file is using unix/linux shell command. To restore mysql database from a dump file, just type the command below:

mysql -u #username# -p #database# < #dump_file#

Of course you need to replace #username# to your database username and #database# to your target database. and rename #dump_file# to your dump file file name (Ex: dump.sql) Once you enter the command, the linux/unix shell will prompt you for your database user password, just key in your database password and you are done

Split the file by parts. First the CREATE instructions, then the inserts.
