Is there a limit on the import in Google Cloud SQL?

Question

I am new to Google Cloud SQL and have created a schema on Cloud SQL. I have imported (using import in google GUI) a CSV file of 5M(unique) rows into this table but only 0.5M rows show up. Not sure if there is a limit I am missing something. PS I also have enough free storage available.

Yes there's a row size limit of 65kb for mySQL even if your storage is capable of storing larger rows. This may be the reason why your table only displays a limited number of rows. There are several factors that affect the row size limit like storage engine (InnoDB/MyISAM) and page header and trailer data used by the storage engine. This is based on the mySQL documentation on row size limits .

Since Cloud SQL supports current and previous versions of mySQL (as well as PostgreSQL and SQL Server), the row size limit for those versions are also applicable.
