Problem while importing mysql dump

[fabson]

Hi folks,

this one here calls for a very dirty workaround I just can't find. Maybe there isnt one but it's worth a try...

Problem as follows:

I have to move my mysql db to a new (very restrictive) host. The dump file is about 15MB.

At the new host I do not have telnet access. So importing it the usual way with mysql < file stuff doesnt work 🙁

The file seems to be too big for phpmyadmin or while uploading it, the script times out 🙁

It seems that I cannot use a the exec function of php since its given no error message, but actually doesn't do anything on the other hand...

Maybe any ideas out there???

Would appreciate any help...

Fab

You can split the file up into smaller SQL Statements, or try Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/webmin/), a web based tool that allows you to control many aspects of the Linux box, including MySQL. In the MySQL module, there is a place for you to execute scripts on local/remote boxes, or you can paste the statement into the given textarea.
