2.7.2.1.4. Database import via phpMyAdmin

Before import:

• Make sure the database you are importing is a SQL file. If the file is zipped, unzip it. Please note that the extension .tar.gz is an archive and when importing a file with this extension, you may encounter many errors.
• Make sure the file size is less than 300 MB. If the size is larger, use one of the methods to import databases of any size presented here.
• Make sure there are no queries in the imported database like CREATE DATABASE¹⁾... If there are such requests, the lines with them must be removed from the file using any text editor (for example, Notepad++).
• If the database to be imported into has not yet been created in the control panel, create it.
• If the database to be imported into must be empty, clean it up.
