Hi there, I finally decided that it's useful to import/export database in compressed format like gzip.
So, changes in phpMiniAdmin 1.7.110429:
- added: import/export to/from gzip compressed files (.gz)

Several more fixes and Security update:

- added cross-site scripting (XSS) shield
- fixed: default charset sometimes not worked correctly
- fixed: Export broken if table names contain underscore
- fixed: Export CSV in utf8 now done with bom-mark
- fixed: added date_default_timezone_set
- added cacheing database list in session
- fixed: small fixes in export

well, I am back. I see that many people like this thing, so I decided to make it better. Look for further updates soon...

I found that some hosting providers moving from phpMyAdmin to phpMiniAdmin as main solution for accessing user’s MySQL databases due to installation simplicity and 10x faster performance:
- http://www.110mb.com ( they even created nice installation help http://www.110mb.com/phpmyadmin/ )
- http://www.quotaless.com

From the forums on those hosting sites I’ve analyzed complaints about phpMiniAdmin and now I am ready to announce new features coming in nearest 1.4 version:
- ability to put multiple SQL queries in the input area and execute them correctly
- ability to import from .gz and .zip files (it’s really better to upload large DBs as zipped files, isn’t it? ;)... read more
