Big Dump MySQL Importer

Published Jul 07, 2011 in #technologys-betrayal, #web-development

Filed away for future use: Big Dump, a MySQL import utility. I was having trouble with importing a big SQL file to a database on a shared hosting plan—the import kept timing out. Big Dump gets around this by splitting large files and importing them sequentially. You set the config for your database, upload the php file and SQL to your webserver, and let it run.
