Increase the file size?

[Snowflake]

Hi!

Username: storyboo

Since we got more space on our free accounts (thanks!!) and I only have my personal site there (so I wouldn't need that much) I thought of moving my forum over here. So I am trying to move it, but the maximum size to import the database using phpmyadmin is 50mb. Can this be increased? My forum's db is around 90mb....

Thank you!!

Hello @"Vera"

Can you try now?

Hello Vera,

Even I have a forum database of more than 60MB. The best way to transfer big mysql databases is ,
- Export them in gzip format. It'll reduce the size to 10-14 MB. You'll find this option under compression dropdown menu while exporting your mysql database.
- Import that sql.gzip to your new server's phpmyadmin like you import the normal sql database.
- BAM! You're done!

Thank me later!

It's still the same...

I did that, but nothing came up inside the database. It was loading everything, but when the page reloads there's absolutely nothing there.

I didn't export it as .gzip, just realized that, only zipped the .sql when it was already downloaded to my computer.

Would it make any difference?

There's not a .gzip option on the dropdown menu in the export page of phpmyadmin on my old server...
