BigDump Usage | How to upload large database

Upload large sized database using BigDump.

1. Download and unzip bigdump.zip on your computer.
2. Open bigdump.php in a text editor.
3. Update database configuration

   // Database configuration
   
   $db_server   = 'localhost';
   $db_name     = '';
   $db_username = '';
   $db_password = '';

4. Optional settings (For example, $filename)

   // OPTIONAL SETTINGS 
   
   $filename           = '';     // Specify the dump filename to suppress the file selection dialog
   $ajax               = true;   // AJAX mode: import will be done without refreshing the website
   $linespersession    = 3000;   // Lines to be executed per one import session
   $delaypersession    = 0;      // You can specify a sleep time in milliseconds after each session
                                 // Works only if JavaScript is activated. Use to reduce server overrun

5. Create the working directory (e.g. tempFile) on your web server
6. Upload bigdump.php and the database file (*.sql or *.gz) via FTP to the working directory.
7. Run the bigdump.php from your web browser via URL like http://www.yourdomain.com/tempFile/bigdump.php.
8. Now you can select the file to be imported from the listing of your working directory. Click “Start import” to start.
9. BigDump will start every next import session automatically if JavaScript is enabled in your browser.
10. Relax and wait for the script to finish. Do NOT close the browser window!
11. IMPORTANT: Delete the working directory (e.g. tempFile) to remove bigdump.php and your dump files from your web server.
