Re: Import of SQL file slow or freezes

I see in the SHOW VARIABLES OUTPUT that binary logging is ON - this is a new default in MySQL 8. Binary logging will have a significant performance impact whilst importing a large SQL file.

You could consider disabling binary logging at MySQL startup - but only if you are not using replication and are prepared for the data recovery consequences (see MySQL manual section on the binary log at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/binary-log.html).

Alternatively, you could temporarily disable binary logging whilst importing the sql file with

SET sql_log_bin = OFF

before importing, then

SET sql_log_bin = OFF

when the import is complete. Note that this will prevent replication of the imported changes from master to slave if you have replication turned on.
