    You can easily import using cmd promt

    mysql -u username(of phpmyadmin) -p database_name < file_path/file_name.sql

    you can also do the changes in php.ini file to increase upload size of phpmyadmin.

    in php.ini of your PHP installation (note: depending if you want it for CLI, Apache, or Nginx, find the right php.ini to manipulate)

    post_max_size=500M

upload_max_filesize=500M

memory_limit=900M

    or set other values.

    Restart/reload apache if you have apache installed or php-fpm for nginx if you use nginx.

    Remote server?

    increase max_execution_time as well, as it will take time to upload the file.

    NGINX installation?

    you will have to add: client_max_body_size 912M; in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to the http{…} block

    I was facing the same problem when I was trying to import a 90mb database. You can solve this problem by opening 

    xampp->phpMyadmin->libraries->config.default.php

    after opening the file search for $cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 300;

    Here you can set the time to 1000 or whatever you want after the equal sign. The default value is 300.
