For Upload large size data in using phpmyadmin Do following steps.

  1. Open php.ini file from C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin Update following lines
    max_execution_time = 259200 max_input_time = 259200 memory_limit = 1000M upload_max_filesize = 750M post_max_size = 750M
    than after restart wamp server or restart all services Now Upload data using import function in phymyadmin. Apply second step if till not upload data.
  2. open config.default.php file in c:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.0.4\libraries (Open this file accoring to phpmyadmin version)
    Find $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 300;Replace to $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;
    Now you can upload data.

You can also upload large size database using MySQL Console as below.

  1. Click on WampServer Icon -> MySQL -> MySQL Consol
  2. Enter your database password like root in popup
  3. Select database name for insert data by writing command USE DATABASENAME
  4. Then load source sql file as SOURCE C:\FOLDER\database.sql
  5. Press enter for insert data.

Note: You can't load a compressed database file e.g. database.sql.zip or database.sql.gz, you have to extract it first. Otherwise the console will just crash.
