Allowed memory size of … bytes exhausted

Recently, I had to do a t3d export/import, where the data size was nearly 2GB, and no matter what memory_limit we tried, it always failed. Finally we tried memory_limit = -1, which basically removes the memory limit, and lets us use the max available memory of the Operating System.

Often we may need some special setup for a special case/cause.

This solution did helped us, and we were able to do the export smoothly.

CAUTION: On a production server try not to do this, if we forget to revert this change, things can get worse!
Instead make a local copy, and then we have a total freedom.
