Append?
MySQL has the function built into it.
OPTIMIZE TABLE tablename
Just make a regular query using that function.
There is a script called “bigdump”
http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump/
This will allow you to import larger databases.
Many people don’t like to use it. Personally I have used it (on my wordpress site) and it worked perfectly.
From memory, you need to change a few details in bigdump (your database login and password etc) and then place your database in the same directory as big dump.
Navigate to big dump – for example – www.website.com/bigdump.php
You should see your database as a selectable item.
Then click Start or Dump or Import (cant remember exactly) it takes a few moments – so dont close the page.
Hopefully everything will go well.

Use bigdump:
http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump/
Do edit the DB info & Filename,And of course upload the db itself (.sql,not in compressed form),After importing,Delete bigdump & the db,Also,For security
reasons,Better change the bigdump filename before uploading.
Edit: Looks like I was too late
