having problems importign my database

[TvForce]

hey guys, im having a ton of problems importing my database, i cant do it with phpmyadmin because it is to big and big dump gives me this error,

At this place the current query includes more than 300 dump lines. That can happen if your dump file was created by some tool which doesn't place a semicolon followed by a linebreak at the end of each query, or if your dump contains extended inserts. Please read the BigDump FAQs for more infos.

if you can help me out pleaseeee please help me out

The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:

Restore:

P.S. If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:
