# SQL Import

 * Hi all 🙂
 * I’m transferring my blog to another domain. I’ve transferred the files and copied
   and pasted the code in the database.sql into SQL and clicked go. The progress
   bar kind of stuck straight away and hasn’t moved since. It’s been almost 2 hours
   and the size of the database is 1.3MB.
 * Has it failed? Am I safe to close the window and try again? I’m pretty amateur
   so if there’s any advice please don’t feel like you’re patronising me, any advice
   would be greatly appreciated!! 🙂

 * You can close the window. Then check to see if all the tables are created. Try
   accessing your blog, if something is amiss you can easily notice. If that’s the
   case drop all the tables and reimport. Instead of pasting all the sql code, import
   the sql file.

 * Hi, thanks for your help 🙂
 * Unfortunately, it didn’t work! I tried importing it but the same happened, it
   hangs and doesn’t seem to be doing anything. I wasted 2 hours waiting for the
   copy + paste method then an hour importing with the other method, kinda getting
   irritating now!!
