Re: Error of 2 GB Database restore

Here's the official page for the error reported:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/gone-away.html

Google for 'ERROR 2006 (HY000)' yourself and you'll see quite a few hits.

So, let me get this straight ...

you've done an mysqldump of a 2.3 version db to an sql file.

That command using mysqldump looked like what?

you transferred the sql file to a local machine.   How did you transfer that file to local machine?  Might need to tar ball/zip the .sql file then transfer it to protect the text inside the .sql file.

Now you are trying to import the sql file into a new DB on the local machine ... show command you are using.

Have you turned on logging in MySQL?   Is there an error log for MySQL you can reference?
