如何在 MAMP 上导出/导入大型数据库

Question

How do I export/import large database on MAMP ? Using PHPMyAdmin does not work as it supposed to be.

Answer 1

It should be done via terminal as below.

• In the terminal navigate to bin folder of MAMP using below command cd /Applications/MAMP/library/bin
• Use this command to export the file ./mysqldump -u [USERNAME] -p [DATA_BASENAME] > [PATH_TO_FILE] . EG would be ./mysqldump -u root -p my_database_name > /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/folder_name/exported_db.sql
• Line should appear saying Enter password: . Here enter the MySQL password. keep in mind that the letters will not appear, but they are there.

If you need to import use BigDump Which is a MySQL Dump Importer.

Answer 2

Turn on MAMP!

Then, for both operations, open the terminal and type:

---

EXPORTING:

/Applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysqldump -u [USERNAME] -p [DATABASE_NAME] > [PATH_TO_SQL_FILE]

Then type your password in prompter (default root ) and press enter.

Example:

/Applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysqldump -u root -p my_database_name > /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/folder_name/exported_db.sql

---

IMPORTING (will erase current database) :

/Applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysql -u [USERNAME] -p [DATABASE_NAME] < [PATH_TO_SQL_FILE]

Then type your password in prompter (default root ) and press enter.

Example:

/Applications/MAMP/library/bin/mysql -u root -p my_database_name < /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/folder_name/exported_db.sql

/!\ Important Warning: Make sure to backup your current database before doing this command in case you need a copy of it before importing. This will erase your current database!

Answer 3

如果您使用 MAMP PRO 版本来绕过 phpMyAdmin 为您提供的默认设置，您也可以使用 Sequel Pro 应用程序。

Answer 4

I had a problem to dump my db from MAMP. Tried a lot of things, but always this error: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock'

Tried to create a symlink , but it was already created "ln: /tmp/mysql.sock: File exists"

Thought the problem was new Mac or new MAMP. Finally in my case (problem was in me) solution was really simple: just turn on MAMP :) Maybe it will help someone to save a little bit time (I spent around 4 hours)
