title: Import large sql file (>20GB)
body: <p>I'm trying to import a very large .sql file into my database. The file is currently 20GB big. I tried with the console mysql database &lt; backup.sql but this takes now longer than 24 hours and the mysql server made no reaction anymore.</p>
  
  <p>How can I import such a large file? I think splitting it is the way to go, but how can I split it correctly? It is only one table with several insert statements.</p>
