I'm regularly running into trouble while exporting large tables from one database to another (both MySql).
Sometimes I get a message like 'lost connection to database' (I'm not sure which db, the exporting or the importing one, I'm guessing the importing one). After this, Heidi stops exporting. This happens on a table with only 800 records, but with a lot of data in one of the columns per record (MEDIUMTEXT).
At other times I get an out of memory exception like the one below. This happens on a table with 1.5 million records. However, in this case, when I disable logging the queries (both user fired and internal), the export succeeds (and the process goes quicker as well). So I'm guessing there's one part of the trouble.
I hope you will be able to fix this some time, because in this case I found myself reluctantly reaching back to MySql-Front, which does an error-free and quick job transerring data from one db to another. For the rest, I like Heidi so much better ;-)
Here's the exception that happened on the 1.5 million record export:
