MySQL Database import into 5.7 hangs with CLI or with Workbench 6.3 CE I have a SQL dump file that I exported using Workbench from a server that is being decommissioned. The host and target OS is Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (therefore is x64 natively). There seems to be no way in hell to import this SQL dump file as it will hang no matter what. File size is less than 500Mb. I did look at the database schema itself and tables seem to have overwritten the initially created DB with the same name, however the import will not do anything but hang. I'm not a DBA, just a network/sysadmin so I am most frustrated with getting this thing to import. Any suggestions anyone?
I ran into similar problem importing a 1.2G SQL File and it took about 10 hours on my Laptop (Core i-5 x64 8G RAM) Of course I was multitasking.

To find out the progress, I'd query every hour using this query

select table_name as "Table", round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) AS "SIZE" from information_schema.TABLES where table_schema = "Name_of_Database_You_Import";


Thanks
