Aquia Desktop - How to import a MySql database that is too big
configure Mysql my.ini


change the value of myisam_sort_buffer_size from 8M to whatever your sql size is.

I will say if your file size is 100 change the value to myisam_sort_buffer_size = 156M.


Restart your mysql.
using terminal navigate to mysql bin directory
run the command: mysql -u username -p yourdatabasename &lt;yourmysqldatabasefile


enter the password for the user, if there is no password the user than just press enter.
