Data Import

[Anthony Shapley]

Hi,

Wondered if someone could offer guidance regarding accessing the Python Datastore API's from command line for a specific project, we want to import a 50GB MySQL table into a working model we've built on Appscale ideally from command line. How would one approach this?

Alternatively - if someone has a better idea on how this can be achieved, I'd be interested to hear that to!

Thanks

If your app is already deployed, one option is to use the Remote API. Here's a wiki entry that shows how to access it: https://github.com/AppScale/appscale/wiki/Viewing-Data-in-AppScale-(remote_api)

You can also access a MySQL database directly from an app deployed on AppScale. If for some reason you run into difficulties with the Remote API, you can write a conversion script as one of your app handlers.
