MySQL 2 SQLite

Category:	Database Migration
Author/Contact Info	/msg jeffa
Description:	I am excited about DBD::SQLite (thanks again, Matts)!! Instead of peeing my pants over it, i wrote a very simple migration script for use with a MySQL database. I plan on using this to help with the creation of demo sites (see Re: Would you use SQLite?). Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Error handling could be better ... but it works for me. I am more interested in improving the process of filtering out the MySQL specific SQL so SQLite doesn't choke on them, as well as being able to migrate from other database vendors. (And shame on me for shoving the entire output of mysqldump into DBI's do() method as a scalar!) Written for Linux, sorry Windows programmers. UPDATE: (Wed Mar 5 09:04:52 CST 2003) Indeed Podmaster ... go SQL Fairy!!!! :D

The script opens a pipe to the mysqldump program to retrieve CREATE and INSERT statements for the specified tables. This data is then munged to conform with SQLite, and then fed to a dbm file named the same as the database. =head1 SYNOPSIS ./mysql2sqlite.pl -u user -s host -d dbase table1 table2 table3 This will create a dbm named 'dbase.dbm' with three tables (table1, table2, table3) provided that they all exist in the MySQL database. If tables are not supplied, then ALL TABLES in the database will be migrated. If a table already exists in the dbm file, then the script will stop execution before that table's data is migrated (simplicity vs. robustness, i chose simplicity). =head1 LEGAL STUFF Mi casa su casa, but if you get hurt or someone gets hurt from this casa, then it's your casa, not mine. =cut

I've abstracted some of yer conversion code into a subroutine. It's more complete (not by too much).

update: made it work for all my tables (much better than my initial version ;D)

update: Did it.

keyboard ENUM("dvorak","asdf","qwerty") NOT NULL DEFAULT "qwerty",

now translates to

keyboard VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL DEFAULT "qwerty",
