I used this. It worked well. However, importing is till a problem when transfering to another server. Any feasible solution by phpmyadmin without 3rd part software? |

| by Dave_L on 2004/7/5 14:52:23 If you have a recent version of phpMyAdmin, you can configure it (in its config.ini.php file) to export and import using local files, rather than uploading and downloading. I had some difficulty figuring out how to specify the right paths for that, but here's a working example that I recently used: le="color: #000000"><?php /** * Webserver upload/save/import directories */ $cfg['UploadDir'] = './upload'; $cfg['SaveDir'] = './download'; This helps with larger databases, but isn't always adequate if you're on a slow server. Sometimes you have to backup and restore the database in pieces: individual tables, or even pieces of individual tables, which is a big pain to do. Being able to use the mysqldump and MySQL commands from the shell, via SSH, is the best way, if that's available to you. |

| by tom on 2004/7/5 11:35:49 Never tried it, however when downloading sometimes I believe there are retrictions set on your max DL size, I could be wrong, but isnt this a setting in the PHP it's self? I'm not techie so don't quote me. I say this as the back up tools don't normally work for me, niether does PHPMyAdmin any more, I have to SSH to back mine up now (Nearly 200MB for one) |
