Yes, CLI (Command Line Interface) is a way to log into your server and use text commands to do functions like upload and download the database. This is helpful because it doesn't have size limitations. You said that you did the database edits but couldn't upload the database via phpmyadmin because it was over 64 MB. Using the CLI gets around this size limitation.Do you mean the backup system within phpBB? (I don't know what CLI means).If currently the only limitation is the database upload size, you could use the CLI to upload the database.
Because i also tried that, and as the ACP warns before restoring an upload, after editing and saving the file, it is not recognised by the ACP (it gives errors and wipes the entire forum of content).
PS: I also started adding to my previous post just before you posted. Regarding how to handle ";p= variations.
