Overview

TencentDB for MySQL supports importing SQL files via the console, allowing you to execute SQL statements in the selected database. You can also use this feature to create databases/tables and change table structures to initialize or modify the instance.

Note：

Only two-node and three-node TencentDB for MySQL instances support importing SQL files.

Directions

1. Log in to the TencentDB for MySQL console. In the instance list, click an instance ID or Manage in the Operation column to access the instance management page.
2. On the instance management page, select Database Management > Database List and click Data Import.
   
3. In the pop-up window, click Add File to import the file. After the upload is completed, click Next.

   Note：

   • To avoid database unavailability caused by corruption of system tables, do not import data from system tables such as the mysql.user table.
   • Only incremental import is supported. Clear any obsolete data in the database before importing.
   • You can import an unencrypted .zip file. The unzipped files must be .sql files with a total size of no more than 5 GB.
   • A single file should not exceed 10 GB (if it is zipped, the file should not exceed 5 GB after being unzipped), and the file name can contain only letters, digits, and underscores.
   • Uploaded files are valid for 14 days and will be automatically deleted after expiration.

   
4. On the Select the target database page, select the target database and click Next.
5. On the confirmation page, confirm that the imported data is correct, enter the account password, and click Import.

   Note：

   • The import cannot be rolled back. Confirm the import information before proceeding.
   • If you forgot the password, reset it as instructed in Resetting Password.
