Staggered import of large and very large MySQL Dumps (like phpMyAdmin 2.x Dumps) even through the web-servers with hard runtime limit and those in safe mode. The script executes only a small part of the huge dump and restarts itself. The next session starts where the last was stopped.

OMG, this has saved me so much time and hassle. I have a local MySQL database that is around 50Meg and getting online to Pad Database has always been tricky. PhpMyAdmin just can’t handle files of that size through their importer. In comes BigDump to the rescue and made this process literally a 10min process and that included the time to get the BigDump file setup and pushed to the server.
