Amit, Your commands seem to have worked - thank you!! Do I need to set : 1) global net_buffer_length=1000000; 2) global max_allowed_packet=10000000000000; to some lesser value? Any way it is detrimental to leave at these values as set? Thanks!! Keith On 2014-12-04 17:22, Amit Nepal wrote: > You can just change the value of max packet for that session and > import the file .
