Importing MySQL Databases?

[Thomas]

I'm currently importing my forum database to a new server (moving hosts) and its been 'importing' for the past 2 hours or so? The database is 2.1MB big, how long should it take?

[Tom]

If it's 2.1mb it should have been done long ago.

I suggest restarting the import. May I ask which method you're using to import?

I would imagine he's importing it on PMA (Clicking Import etc.)

[Chippiewill]

Well, I could assume that, but it's possible he's using the run sql box (Which I've found tends to run better).

im using the import option on phpmyadmin

If your database is in the form of a zip file try extracting it and importing the files inside individually

go to cotonti tutorials on youtube, they have one video on uploading my sql

Try running the contents of the SQL file as a query.
