    There is a couple of ways.

    1) Split your SQL file into multiple 2MB chunks

    OR

    2) update your php.ini file with the following (only works on dedicated/local servers – any server you have root on or ones that allow php.ini to be override)

    Find:
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 8M

Change to: ( or any size you want but it will depend on your server resources )
post_max_size = 35M
upload_max_filesize = 35M
max_execution_time = 5000
max_input_time = 5000
memory_limit = 1000M

    3) If you do have root run a command line

    mysql -u username -p -D database_name < file
