- Increase Timeout Settings: Adjust
max_allowed_packet
and net_read_timeout
in your MySQL configuration to handle large imports. - Use
--single-transaction
for Exports: This option helps reduce locking issues during exports by maintaining a consistent snapshot of the database.
Data import and export in MySQL are essential tasks for database management and backup. By using tools like mysqldump
, LOAD DATA INFILE
, and MySQL Workbench, you can efficiently handle data transfers and ensure data integrity across different environments.
