Datastore management

[java...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

Maybe I have missed something.

Is there any way to import data into an application's datastore and/or
export it too? In addition, how can I browse, delete entities in the
datastore beside doing it in the application logic? If data model
changes, where does the old entities go?

Essentially, how to efficiently manage all data in an application's
datastore?

Thanks!

The Datastore Viewer at appengine.appspot.com handles browsing and
modifying data in most cases. There's also a local console on
http://localhost:8080/_ah/admin

To import, see the bulkload tool:

To export, you can use the existing to_xml() functionality:
