I have a strange issue with exporting my woocommerce / wordpress database. I have tried through phpmyadmin, ssh mysqldump and other sql backup tools such as MySQLDumper.
The problem arises during the backup with a table that exceeds approximately 600 rows. The problem is consistent across all backup platforms, it simply stops the backup process and the file ends mid-row.
The problem consistently happens to 2 different wordpress / woocommerce sites I host on the same VPS server; neither database is larger than 16Mb.
The weirder thing is that I host other websites on the same server, some have databases in excess of 150Mb and they all export fine through phpmyadmin and ssh mysqldump processes.
If I select a small table within my woocommerce / wordpress sites, I can export them individually with no problem. However, when I get to something like the wp_postmeta table with roughly 40,000 entries, it will export to roughly 4Mb and then just stop, with the export file ending mid-row.
I get no warning, no error. There is no consistency with the problem except that the same thing happens on both sites that are woocommerce / wordpress with tables over 600 rows.
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
