BigDump

Author:

Ran into a problem with timeout in PHPMyAdmin. Followed the instructions. Ten seconds later, my 9 MB SQL statement was processed flawlessly. Warning: Watch out for "extended inserts" when exporting your SQL.

I tried for hours to import a large file. I stumbled upon BigDump and was done in a few minutes (including the time to read up on how to use it and add the db info) Great Script!

This script saves tons of time - I had a 25 meg sql import which phpMyAdmin flat refused to import. With BigDump, I just set the database access settings, pointed BigDump at my import file, and set it loose. Voila! My import is complete, and I didn't have to spend hours parsing the file myself in order to import it.

I was having no end of trouble restoring my localhost test database. PhpMyAdmin just kept timing out. I was manually editing huge SQL files which as you know is a pain in the arse. Then I found BigDump. Downloaded, changed a few values in the configuration and ran it. Success 1st time! This script does exactly what it says. Great work. Thanks a lot.

Specially registered for this one. BigDump is not only a life-saver, person in question is even a nice guy and responds to an E-Mail. This script is 10/5. Thank you very much. - Igor

This was a lifesaver for me. I had to load up a largish database, one gzipped sql dump for each table, on a serevr where PhpMyadmin simply timed out for the larger files. No way to load anything. Then I found BigDump and it was WOW! I found a wee bug: the final record count that was reported is off by 2, but the actual table has the correct number of records. Caution: if you use mod_rewrite, upload an .htaccess file with "Rewritengine off" to the Bigdump folder.

This script just does what it is created for. Instead of the sick uploading the dumps via phpMyAdmin or cPanel which will not work in most cases, the best method is to put the dump file by FTP, then just configure this script modifying few values and run it. No more waiting, stresses or unexpected errors, the job is completed very fast. It seems the best software on this planet is really written by russian programmers!

This tool does exactly what you need it to do. The easiest way is just upload the .sql file to the web tree some where then start the process. I uploaded a 36M .sql file and it worked it no problem. EXCELLENT program and EXCELLENT use of Ajax to show you the progress!

It took our 2+gig sql file from our Search99.com search engine that took us 2 days to upload to the server, and this little script within minutes fully executed the sql query successfully with no errors. Compared to all the nightmares we had trying to run it with PHPMyAdmin, this took is worth a million bucks. Great little product.

I've been struggling with a large database 64mb, and getting it imported to a new server. I've tried every method and it always failed. I tried different programs such as Navicat, phpmyadmin, from the sever itself, but always failed. This is a life saver, and well done!!

I registered just to say how awesome this script is. A database that took me over 4hrs to install manualy has taken me only a few mins with this script. Weldone to the person who made this script. Thanks M

I use big dump every day to upload in my local computer the daily download of my production database. Bigdump is the best application I have ever used for such daily chores. A very intelligent tool that should be included in MySQL releases with PHPMyAdmin.

BigDump got me out of a bind when I was faced with moving a large PHP-Nuke / phpBB site to another host -- and phpMyAdmin wouldn't let me upload my large database (even after I tried splitting things up into many smaller import files). BigDump is just one php file with only 5 or so lines to edit; simply upload that to the same folder as your database, click, and watch it fly. Thanks, Alexey!

Bigdump has helped me so much, I could never have gotten along without it.

This is the first time ever I've reviewed a script. Very simple to use. Solved my big concern how to restore the huge backup of my site in the case of a server crash. Now I know my back ups CAN be restored even on a fairly restricted virtual server in safe mode.

I too am one of those people who NEVER review or rate anything. But I've got to hand it to Alexey - this script has saved my bacon on so many occasions. It shouldn't be free I reckon - I would happily pay for a script like this. Hat's off to you fella - well done on such a great script.

This script has helped me solve 3 problems so far that would've taken alot of time had I not used it. Just like the reviewer above, this is the first time I've reviewed a script I've used. It's extrememly helpful, quick and easy to use.

This program proved to be a lifesaver for our website, we had a huge sql dump file to import and after multiple tries and time outs, I tried this and it worked!

As everybody, I've met problems with uploading/ restoring huge mysql dumps. "BigDump" is just THE tool I needed and that solved my problems. I could NOT make some of its "smart" features work, and just used the "basic" scheme. Not a bad thing anyway, since this is not an everyday problem. The configuration I finally used: - no GZ - BEWARE, when it says "no extended insert", that's real. Alternatively, you can get your dump with extended insert AND THEN put some <<; INSERT INTO...>> at strategic places. But why would you bother? (except if file sizes create problems) - DO convert yourself the ".sql" files to Unix, do not rely on bigdump to do it: I had to do it. Might be related to the fact that my data are UTF8, which might at times confuses PHP.

I myself found myself executing chunks of mysql dump queries in phpmyadmin for the big forum backups I had until I found this script. Now I just run this awesome free script and my forum db is restored within 5 seconds or less!

This tool has become one of my favorites, I use it very often. Thank you!

For some time I have been attempting to find a way to dump a 5mb sql file (the entire bible) into a mysql database, without having to do it section by section. I had begun to give up and started to dump it in sections, which is tedious when you are having to dump over 30,000 sql queries to one database! Then by accident I came across this script, and it solved my problem! It's so ingenious, yet simple. It automatically takes the sql file, then dumps chunks of it, then refreshes itself and dumps the next chunk. What a useful tool! Thank you!
