Cloudways SQL Import Guide
Cloudways gives you SSH and a database manager, so large imports don't have to go through the browser.
Typical limits
- • Browser database manager struggles with big dumps
- • PHP limits apply to phpMyAdmin-style imports
- • Application-level timeouts on long imports
Best fixes
- • SSH in and import with the mysql CLI
- • Use the master credentials from the platform panel
- • Split very large dumps for recoverable imports
