i've acquire a database thats about 600mb but i can't open it.
was surprise notepad and notepad++ can't open an sql files thats about 600mb, anyone tried opening a 600mb sql file? what program did you use?

I create a database in MySQL and import the file.

$ mysql -hDBHOST -uDBUSERNAME -pDBPASSWORD garfish
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 36802652
Server version: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.7-log (Ubuntu)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

mysql> source garfish.sql;
...

Open it also in another SQL softwares like sql server.
