1and1 db import

Need some help, I’ve got my db backed up. and am trying to restore it on to a resh db on a 1and1 server.

i know the db file is working right, it’s about the right size and i can see the content in the sql file. however when i ‘import file’ on phpmyadmin on 1and1, it says the commands have been executed and inserted, but nothing shows up in the db… any help would be superb!
