sqlite3-to-mysql's Introduction

SQLite3 to MySQL

A simple Python tool to transfer data from SQLite 3 to MySQL.

I originally wrote this simple program as a standalone script and published it as a gist as an answer to this Stack Overflow question. Since then quite some people have taken interest in it since it's so simple and effective. Therefore I finally moved my lazy bones and made a GitHub repository 🐙.

How to run

pip install sqlite3-to-mysql
sqlite3mysql --help

Usage

Usage: sqlite3mysql [OPTIONS]

  Transfer SQLite to MySQL using the provided CLI options.

Options:
  -f, --sqlite-file PATH      SQLite3 database file  [required]
  -t, --sqlite-tables TEXT    Transfer only these specific tables (space
                              separated table names). Implies --without-
                              foreign-keys which inhibits the transfer of
                              foreign keys.

  -d, --mysql-database TEXT   MySQL database name  [required]

                              an error if your MySQL version does not support
                              InnoDB FULLTEXT indexes!
