From time to time, we get into situation when we would like to know just how-to import big database in phpmyadmin?

The problem is that most of the php.ini - the PHP configuration file on server (that is your host, if you are on shared hosting) is limiting maximum file upload size to 2mb.

In that case casual BROWSE>UPLOAD model fails to work with phpmyadmin, so we need to seek altarnatives. Let’s see what we can do:

There are not much news in scripts niche today, so I thought I share nice theme for phpmyadmin, that I discovered recently

Clear View is free, clean, white and nifty theme (skin) for phpmyadmin, currently tested with phpMyAdmin 2.9, but 2.8 may be good too.

Author, beholder-eye explains how to make this light theme even more beautiful:

If you want more pretty icons (32bit, alpha transparency), then do this:

- rename folder ‘clear_view/img’ to ‘img_8bit’
- rename folder ‘clear_view/img_32bit’ to ‘img’

but these icons will be ugly in IE 6.

It even supports so-called zebra tables, to enable them just uncomment line:

// $GLOBALS['cfg']['zebra'] = '#f5f5f5';

in layout.inc.php file

Setting theme up, is quite streight forward, just upload it to themes folder. Icons are from famfamfam
