Import Large MYSQL Database Dumps With Big Dump

If you ever have to restore or import a Build A Niche Store database or any other database for that matter, you might have run into some timeout errors or hard runtime limits when using phpmyadmin in your cPanel. This frustrated me in the past until I found Big Dump. BigDump is a staggered MYSQL importer that executes only a small part of the huge dump and restarts itself. The next session starts where the last was session was stopped. This script is very easy to use. Just edit the database variables in the script, much like you would do with the wp-config.php file in Wordpress setups. Upload the file to the server and then view the location in a browser and follow the on screen directions. I was amazed how fast and effective this free script was. While you may not need this script right now, I promise that one day you will.
