Lead Import CSV

[sacramentojoe]

I'm trying to import a CSV file that is 30 megs in size which I'll map to a lead record(s).
I've changed my php.ini file to allow uploads of this size and I realize that it'll take longer to execute so I've upped the amount of time a script may execute to 5 minutes and I've upped the ram to 1 gig.
Even after 5 minutes, I get index.php, which means that it fails.

Has anybody figured out how to handle these large imports?
Breaking the file into multiple imports is not an option unfortunately.

One thing I've done in the past is to import the CSV into MSSQL and use a custom .NET utiltiy to move the data into MySQL. An additional benefit of putting it into MSSQL is that the data to be imported can more easily be manipulated for things such as assigning users, etc. prior to inserting it into Sugar.

Not sure if this helps, but it might give you some ideas...
