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

Note

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