Also keep in mind that the english wikipedia is *huge*. You will need a decent database server to be able to process it. I wouldn't even try on a desktop/laptop.

Thanks Daniel. I have tried MWDumper and the results seem different from importDump.php i.e. the Formatting is messed up. In tracking down what I might be doing wrong - I would prefer to do this using the native method.
Secondly, my question here is regarding PHP – not about the Database. I don’t see how a memory leak in PHP can be caused by the Database.
Has anyone had practical experience with importDump.php? Did you face any memory issues?
Thanks O. O.
