That's not a fair nor an accurate assertion; the dump import script
provided will have no problem importing a database dump for the
English Wikipedia, although it will take a long time.
MWDumper, on the other hand, was designed for much more efficient
processing of dumps this size, and is much more convenient for
importing them. You can find the Java source at
