BigDump - UNEXPECTED: Can't set file pointer behind the end of file

While trying to start uplaod the 3.9 GB sql file via BigDump there is error

UNEXPECTED: Can't set file pointer behind the end of file

Dump of database was exported from PHPMyAdmin. File i开发者_如何学Pythons not corrupted. What is the problem? What are other ways to import such a big database?

Bigdump uses a INSERT INTO table VALUES (....) kind of method.

This is a very slow way of inserting!

Use

LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:/filename.csv' INTO TABLE table1

Instead. Note the use of forward slashes even on Windows.
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html

This is the fastest way possible to insert data into a MySQL table.
It will only work if the input file is on the same server as the MySQL server though.

I get similar error: I can't seek into .sql

The reason for this error is, that BigDump tries to set pointer at the end of .sql-File and then find out its size (using fseek() and fteil() functions). As fseek() is failing when you work with files over 2GB, you get this error. Solution is to split your SQL-File into chunks of 1,5GB - 2GB size...
