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:.

How to run

pip install sqlite3-to-mysql
sqlite3mysql --help

Usage

Usage: sqlite3mysql [OPTIONS]

  Transfer SQLite to MySQL using the provided CLI options.

  -f, --sqlite-file PATH          SQLite3 database file  [required]
  -t, --sqlite-tables TUPLE       Transfer only these specific tables (space

                                  foreign-keys which inhibits the transfer of

  -W, --ignore-duplicate-keys     Ignore duplicate keys. The default behavior
                                  is to create new ones with a numerical
                                  suffix, e.g. 'exising_key' ->
                                  'existing_key_1'

                                  errors when encountering duplicate records;
                                  UPDATE will update existing rows; IGNORE
                                  will ignore insert errors. Defaults to
                                  IGNORE.
  -E, --mysql-truncate-tables     Truncates existing tables before inserting
                                  data.

                                  not support InnoDB FULLTEXT indexes!
