Thanks

Big Dump works great for shared hosts and saved me tons of time wasted on contacting my host and getting them to do it for me. Yes its not necessary if you have shell access but not everyone is so lucky or knowledgeable.

@huntsville: I think you didnt saw what i wrote in description. I clearly says if you dont have shell access or have limitation on phpmyadmin upload then you have to use this. I am full time administrator and I know how to use shell and i have done what you said dozen times.
My blog is for those who doesn’t have shell access or any limitation for big file to restore using phpmyadmin.

You can also use the source command to import large files via shell. It is a more efficient way regardless of size. bigdump sometimes do not work. Find out about source command here http://www.huntsvillepr.com/importing-large-files-in-mysql-using-source-code-406.html

@Armaani: The issue is with your MySQL dump file, it has some unusual characters which are “ï»¿”.
You can check the file itself and edit accordingly or take another backup using mysqldump command or phpmyadmin.
