Upgrading MySQL
Recent glitches required me to update a server I had running Php and MySQL. Before upgrading mySQL I dumped all of my databases using the dump command. When I went to recreate a couple databases in the new installation using PhpMyAdmin a few databases were a little too large and timed out as they were imported. I found a hint to a nice way to import saved tables here (http://www.modwest.com/help/kb.phtml?qid=241&cat=6) but my favorite tip was in the comments: ”
"you can also get to the mysql shell and then type "source file.sql",where file.sql is your dump file"
This turned out to be very handy. Good stuff.
