MySQL Management

How do I manage my MySQL databases?

 

Using ServerCon (Customer login-->click on domain) not only can you create and delete Databases, you can also install the admin tool "phpMyAdmin". phpMyAdmin is an easy to use tool with which you can access your Database.

Please Note: phpMyAdmin takes up about 7 MB Disc Space of your account.

You can also install phpMyAdmin yourself. Download the up to date version from the phpMyAmin website and follow the installation instructions: http://www.phpmyadmin.net

Uploading MySQL Database

 

"Error Message" appears while uploading the MySQL Database!

 

If you receive the error message "CPU Limit reached" while uploading your MySQL Database,  your database is too big to upload via phpMyAdmin (about 2MB limit).

The solution to this problem is Bigdump:

First of all download Bigdump from Alexey Ozerov:

 

http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.zip

 

 

Open the packed file with WinZIP or WinRAR. You now have the file "bigdump.php". Open the file with an editor of your choice, e.g. Windows Editor (Notepad).

 

Now you have to make the following changes:

 

 

In most cases "localhost" is correct. If not quote the name of your database server.

$db_server="localhost";

 

 

Fill in your DB name here. 

$db_name="DB-Name";

 

 

Fill in the user name for your database here.

$db_username="DB-User";

 

 

Fill in the user password for your Database here.

$db_password="DB Password";

 

 

Backup file name. 

$filename="nameofsqlfile.sql";

 

 

Number of lines to be processed during a session.

 (change only if bigdump cancels aborts upload)

$linespersession=3000;

 

 

Time in milliseconds between sessions. Will only work if javascript is activated (Change only if bigdump aborts upload).

$delaypersession=0;

 

 

Save changes and upload the "bigdump.php" together with your sql file via FTP. Both file must be situated in the same folder and be chmod 777. Upload in ASCII mode.

Now access bigdump.php using your browser(example: www.<yourdomain>.com/directory/bigdump.php) then click on start import.

 

If your import is successful the message "Congratulations: End of file reached, assuming OK" is shown.

Please delete your sql file and bigdump.php after finishing.
