Hello all,

I meet a problem that I can't find the answer by Google.

I have a lot of data saved in MySQL database, and now i want to transfer them to ArangoDB. I know that I can save the data from MySQL to csv or json type files, and them load csv or json files to Arangodb using arangodbimport. But I wonder if there is a more direct way to do this work. Is there any plug-in in ArangoDB to connect MySQL?

Thanks.

Hi,
usually you want to adjust your data model to better utilize the features of a document store i.e. by removing SQL typical denormalizations, or adjusting pivot tables to become edge collections.
You can write a program that does all this without keeping the data locally, but there is no default tool which connects the two databases and does this for you.

Cheers,
Willi
