sqlite-to-mysql
Script to convert and add SQLite3 database into a MySQL/MariaDB database
Description
This script is used to convert a SQLite3 .db file into a multiple SQL files based on their tablenames. It was forked from sqlite-to-mysql. I've mostly rewrote the original using Python classes and added another class that handled multiple writing SQL files, as importing one huge SQL file can (if not mostly) fail.
Dependencies
- Sqlite 3
sqlite3 - Python 2.7
python
Usage
Included are the convert.sh and dump.sh script files to use. You can change these script files to suit your needs.
Common Steps:
- Dump SQLite file schema and data into two files.
- Remove schema and retain only the data.
- Run Python script to convert into MySQL syntax.
(Similar to convert.sh)
# Dump SQLite schema
sqlite3 /path/to/sqlite/file.sqlite .schema > data/schema.sql
# Dump SQLite data completely
sqlite3 /path/to/sqlite/file.sqlite .dump > data/dump.sql
# Remove Schema from Dump file
grep -vx -f data/schema.sql data/dump.sql > data.sql
# Run this Python script specifying the dumped sql file and output directory
./sqlite3_to_mysql.py data/data.sql data/
That's it! Import the *.sql files into your MySQL database! Assuming you don't need to import the schema for the MySQL database as well.
Notes
There isn't any forseeable reason for this not to work on Windows using sqlite.exe and mysql.exe, etc. I have not testing this.
As always, use your common sense and backup your data before attempting this. If you pick a database name that already exists in your mysql instance, expect the data to be overwritten.
Enjoy!
