What are the potential pitfalls of using phpMyAdmin to export and import databases?

One potential pitfall of using phpMyAdmin to export and import databases is the limitation on file size. If your database is too large, phpMyAdmin may not be able to handle the export or import process smoothly. To solve this issue, you can use the command line or a script to export and import the database directly. 

// Export database using mysqldump command
exec('mysqldump -u username -p password database_name > path_to_export_file.sql');

// Import database using mysql command
exec('mysql -u username -p password database_name < path_to_import_file.sql');
