How are you exporting and importing the database? In the past I've
successfully used "mysqldump" to export and then import directly via the
command line "mysql" with a wiki database that exceeds 10GB. The commands
to do this are basically:
mysqldump --opt -u user -p wikidb > file.sql
mysql -u user -p newwikidb < file.sql
There are lots of resources explaining/detailing the commands if you need
more information. Also remember to copy the image directory to the new
wiki.
