I have run into this problem and I can shed some new light on it, although I haven’t solved it yet. If you FIRST install WordPress on Godaddy, Godaddy automatically creates a database associated with that WordPress installation and uses the older version of phpmyadmin (2.7.0). This version has no database import button or feature. Now instead of installing WordPress, try this: go to the mysql database manager on Godaddy (the button for that interface is found on the hosting manager page. Follow the steps to create a new database there. Then follow the steps to access phpmyadmin for that database (it’s an “open manager” button). You will see that the database you manually created uses the NEWER version of phpmyadmin – and this version DOES have an import feature. The problem is, how do you get your Godaddy WordPress installation to be associated with this newer, better database? Maybe you can’t. I think Godaddy is running the various applications on different servers and running multiple versions of things. But I emailed them about the issue. If enough people do, I would be surprised if they don’t fix it because upgrading the phpmyadmin version they are using for WordPress can’t be that big a deal for them.
