Import Large Databases into PHPMyAdmin using BigDump


Hi all,

Few days back I was working on a project having large database.Before applying new modifications in the project, backup of the current databse was necessary.when I was taking backup  it gave me error because it was too big, because it exceeded the timeout. For the solution of this error i googled and found one amazing solution the name of which is BigDump.

What is BigDump?

When you are about to replicate or move a database then importing large SQL dumps  can be difficult for those with only web access to the MySQL server. phpMyAdmin has certain shortcomings when importing files of more than a modest size. In such cases BigDump can be a helpful utility.

How to use BigDump?

1.    Download the BigDump from here : BigDump
2.    Extract the bigdump.zip file and open the bigdump.php file in a text editor.
3.    Configure: Server, database name, username, password, and the file name.


<?php

// Database configuration 
$db_server = "localhost";
$db_name = "your_DB_name";
$db_username= "your_DB_user_name";/>
$db_password= "your_DB_password";

// Other Settings// 
$filename = "the_file_you_wish_to_execute";

// Lines to be executed per one import session
$linespersession = 3000;

// You can specify a sleep time in milliseconds after each session
// Works only if JavaScript is activated. In order to reduce server overrun
$delaypersession = 0;

?>
4.    Upload both your SQL file and bigdump.php to the same directory on your webserver.
5.    Now Browse to bigdump.php and click import

You have Done It..!! Wait a few minutes and you will see a confirmation screen similar to the one below.

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key value. The first node i
