 * Is it possible to clone a database on phpMyAdmin? My database is over 9megabytes
   and when I zip it, it’s over 2.6megabytes. When I try to create a new database(
   clone) by downloading and uploading, the file is to big and no database is created.
 * I did a Google search to find if it’s possible to clone a db, but I can’t find
   info on it… is it possible?
 * Tks!

 * This is not a forum to support phpmyadmin …
 * but will try to help you …
 * you can export the file to your local pc , open the file in any text editor ,
   and start copy/past the sql commands by parts …
 * you dont need to import the full file , you could import like 1/3 , 1/3 , 1/3
   depending on the supported size of ur server …
 * good luck .

 * Thank you, I was hoping there was a button within phpMyAdmin that could easily
   clone without all the uploading/downloading and cut/paste. 🙁
 * I put it in “Miscellaneous” category on this forum since this is where external
   wordpress things are kept.
