[ Mysql ] Importing Large SQL Files

Use the mysql command-line tool (RECOMMENDED for large files)

phpMyAdmin struggles with large files. Instead, use the command line:

Open Command Prompt.

Run:

cd D:\Stage\xampp\mysql\bin

Import SQL:

mysql -u root -p database_name < D:\path\to\your\file.sql

Replace database_name with your DB name.
No password if using default XAMPP.
This is much faster and doesn't have execution time issues.
