Although you can do a database import and/or export from phpMyAdmin there is a size limitation (defined in my.cnf max_allowed_packet) when you do an import, so the only solution is to import it from shell.
This article will show you how simple it is to do it.

Importing a mysql database

  1. Login to your server as root or as a user that has access to that database
  2. Type the fallowing command

    3. mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD database_name < database.sql


Exporting a database

  1. Login to your server as root or as a user that has access to that database
  2. Type the fallowing command

    3. mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD database_name > database.sql

Notes:

USERNAME and PASSWORD is a combination that has access to that database. It can actually be the mysql root user.
database.sql is the file imported or the file to which you do the export.

Hope this helps !
