I am trying to figure out why my database dump is so large.
phpMyAdmin states that the total database size is 2.2GB
The MySql DUMP is 25GB
Why is the dump so much larger than the stated size in phpMyAdmin?

MySQL dumps are plain text files with the required SQL commands to recreate the tables and their contents.
Instead of this, phpMyAdmin shows the binary size of the database.
