I wouldn't even consider 1 GB large. That's a pretty small amount to handle to be honest.
OP, if you don't have shell access I advise you use MySQLDumper (But make sure you block off public access. It can do more damage than good if in the wrong hands).
Most hosts are just stingy with the SQL import limit, the highest I've seen was just 50mb.

No, your logic is flawed.
This: "Large DB >= 1gb" would be fine. "A large database is greater than or equal to 1gb". If you wrote a program with your logic you would get the wrong results, you said anything equal to or less than 1gb is a large database.
Let me put it this way for you:
a = a house
b = a car
Now, usually, a >= b yes? Because, in terms of size a house is greater than or equal in to that of a car. Ok, so on a scale of size, it looks like this
---b-----------------a---
Where a house is further up the scale of size than a car correct? Now, replace the car with "1gb" (the thing you are comparing a database's size to) and a house with the "large db". See where your logic fails?
Also, regarding less than and greater than. You must flip the sign if you swap the sides. EG:
x >= y
y <= x (sometimes written "y =< x" which is easier to see the flip )
So, "1gb is greater than of equal to a large database" is the same as " a large database is less than or equal to 1gb" - they mean the same.
We do it all the time when comparing things. A house is bigger than a car, and a car is smaller than a house.
Also, as a side note, I am a programmer, of multiple languages. Many members here are.
