I am new to MySQL and I know very little about it.

The problem I am facing is as mentioned below:

Previously I had data which had MyISAM as its MySQL engine and it used to take around 15 minutes to get imported on any machine. However, when I change the engine to InnoDB it’s taking almost 90 minutes to get imported on any machine. Kindly suggest me for the same.

    Innodb tables are faster for concurrent inserts. See Innodb Performance Optimization Basics

    For best performance, you need to tune INNODB engine in my.cnf file.

    Assuming, if you have 4GB RAM then try configuring my.cnf file as:

    #Innodb
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1G
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 512M
innodb_log_file_size = 1G
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 30
innodb_file_per_table=1
innodb_file_format=barracuda
innodb_strict_mode=1
innodb_autoinc_lock_mode = 0

    Then restart the MySQL server.
