Import large CSV file into MySQL

Jens Olsson — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 09:46:33 +0000

When I was about to import a large CSV file into MySQL I kind of ran into a problem. Since phpMyAdmin does not like large files I had to find another solution. ( Dident get it if I could SSH it, hehe). Well I found dbForge! Perfect program for the job, though it cost some money but perhaps worth it, running trail period now. If you know any simalry program thats free, let me know!

Backup and restore MySQL tables/database

If you have a lagre database that you will take backup on you might find it hard to do so with example phpmyadmin. MySQL made commando for this so you easy can do this in your terminal on both Windows and Linux. I will first go with Linux. OBS: The commando are the same for both Linux and Windows.

MySQLdump commando

mysqldump -u username -ppassword database_name table_name > /your/way/to/sql/file/file_name.sql

SQL for restore table/database

mysql -u username -ppassword database_name < /your/way/to/sql/file/file_name.sql

If you want to backup full database just dont write the table name on first commando.

If you use Windows you have to go to you bin folder who is in your mysql folder. For example in EasyPHP the way is:

c:\program\easyphp-folder\mysql\bin

From there run the commando. Also if you did not understand, you first run the location in simple CMD and then run the commando.

Apache2, PHP 5, MySQL 5, phpMyAdmin for Windows

Jens Olsson — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:22:52 +0000

Here comes a little howto install Apache2, PHP 5, MySQL 5 and phpMyAdmin for windows.

In this tutorial I will use easyPHP which is a packed for these applications.

First, go to www.easyphp.org for downloading easyphp 3.

After you have download it just install easyphp.

When it is installed run it and go to http://127.0.0.1/home/

Here is where you can run phpMyAdmin, add links to other folders that is not in www etc. Everything is done here but I can recommend you to update this things:

1. Right click on your trail icon. Config » PHP. Edit short_open_tag = Off to short_open_tag = On.

2. Add new user to your MySQL server. Go to http://127.0.0.1/home/ select phpmyadmin (mysql management) and go to privilege. Here you can add users. Do NOT edit root password, it will cause problems.

If you have problem let me know and I will try to help you out.

Good Luck
