 <p>I had the same issue and I used command line in order to import the SQL file. This method has 3 advantages:</p> <ol> <li>It is a very easy way by running only 1 command line</li> <li>It runs way faster</li> <li>It does not have limitation</li> </ol> <p>If you want to do this just follow this 3 steps:</p> <ol> <li><p>Navigate to this path (i use wamp):</p> <p>C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\bin></p></li> <li><p>Copy your sql file inside this path (ex file.sql)</p></li> <li><p>Run this command: </p> <p>mysql -u username -p database_name &lt; file.sql</p></li> </ol> <p><sup>Note: if you already have your msql enviroment variable path set, you don't need to move your file.sql in the bin directory and you should only navigate to the path of the file.</sup></p>
