Import an SQL file via DB WebAdmin in PleskImport an SQL file via DB WebAdmin in Plesk
Over some of the recent major revisions in phpMyAdmin (which is used to manage the MySQL databases), the location of the import utility has changed. In the version currently installed with both Plesk 7.5.x Reloaded and Plesk 8.0.x is can be found in two places:
- Log onto Plesk using your username and password.
- Click on the name of the domain the database belongs to.
- Click on Databases.
- Click on the name of the database you want to import the file to.
- Click on DB WebAdmin.
- Either:
- Click on the name of the database (above the list of tables on the left) and on the next page click the SQL tab. Or;
- Click on the SQL box icon above the name of the database (on the left-hand-side) and click on the Import Files tab.
- In both cases, the import file field will be shown and you can upload an SQL file to be run against the database.
This may take some time. If the browser has stopped responding, then the upload may have failed – try the method below if this keeps happening.
If you have a large file (more than a few megabytes) then this method is not suitable. The next method will work better.
