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 :octopus:.

pip install sqlite3-to-mysql
sqlite3mysql --help

Testing

In order to run the test suite run these commands using a Docker MySQL image.

Requires a running Docker instance!

• using Python 2.7

git clone https://github.com/techouse/sqlite3-to-mysql
cd sqlite3-to-mysql
virtualenv -p $(which python2) env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
tox

• using Python 3.5+

git clone https://github.com/techouse/sqlite3-to-mysql
cd sqlite3-to-mysql                   
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
tox

Note

After a LONG time I finally found the time to write the complimentary script to transfer MySQL to SQLite3. Check it out :)

Additional note

Python 3.8 is currently not supported because at the moment of writing the most recent version of MySQL Connector/Python v8.0.17 still contains a reference to a feature deprecated in Python 3.5 and removed in Python 3.8:

mysql/connector/connection.py:126: DeprecationWarning: dist() and linux_distribution() functions are deprecated in Python 3.5

Check the failing build for yourself.
