It would help a lot if the Adminer import size would be increased from 2MB to something much bigger.  
128MB would be nice.

Hey Jarno 👋

I’ll certainly pass this on. I do see that the limits are set quite low.

We should have a workaround to this, I’ll post it once I can confirm it for you.

A +1 from me. I love your tool, and kudos for making this available!

But I can’t import my database. I get Too big POST data. Reduce the data or increase the ‘post\_max\_size’ configuration directive.

Cheers,

Anne

Thank you guys! We’re on it 🙂

Temporary workaround (as @bigsimon said it [here](https://community.kinsta.com/t/mysql-import-via-command/109/3)):

```auto
docker exec -i devkinsta_db mysql -u root -p [DB name] < [path/to/sql/file]

```

Command line work perfectly and you will get better performance than Adminer or PhpMyadmin, and more reliable. cheers
