My dump is of 5GB, after extracting it became around 27 GB. I m trying it on windows 7 with 1 GB ram dual core processor. Using java 1.6, XAMP version 1.7.1. changed particular variables in my.ini and php.ini The command I used: java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.5 enwiki-20100130-pages-articles.xml | D:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql -u wikiuser -p wikidb Within 2 hours it takes 9,541,307 pages and revs and suddenly stops without any error message. In my local wiki I found the wikidb size is only 4 Gb. My XML dump is of 27GB and it contains 20100130 pages. Most of the pages including main page are missing. Thanx in advance for your help.
