CiiviCrm 2.2 Joomla 1.5.9 import
February 10, 2009, 01:04:25 pm
Our organization has 255K contacts. The database in .csv format is over 360M. What would be the recommended way to do an end run around the Joomla Import limit of 8M? Is there a way to use the MyPHP tools provided by Bluehost.com to do an end around with the export/import feature?

If you have that many contacts, we'd recommend using a VPS or a dedicated server.

To a large extent the answer depends on what information you have on the contacts. The easiest option is to split it into smaller files and import them individually. The other option would be to write a custom sql importer, this would require a developer
