The file size limit is 2048 KB (or 2 MB). If you find that your database exceeds this size, then: Import by manually copying and pasting the contents of your .sql file directly into phpMyAdmin (SQL tab). Export by not using the “Save as File” option when exporting and instead copy and paste the “dumped” data displayed in phpMyAdmin into a .sql file. Alternatively, you can export by using the mysqldump method via command prompt.
