Should i migrate from DataStores to Cloud SQL ?

[Prakhil Samar]

Hi GAE Experts,

Need your help !

I have a large application build on Datastores using Python, As Google has introduced Cloud SQL support too.

So, should i switch from DataStores to Cloud SQL ?

Will Cloud SQL be a value add on to my application?

Is performance of Cloud SQL better than DataStores?

Will it be big effort to migrate the complete application code and its data from DataStores to Cloud SQL?

Please help me out taking the decision either to switch to Cloud SQL or stick to the DataStores...

if you have to ask - doubt you have any reason to switch.

realisticly you would really only switch if you need specific features offered by sql not available via the datastore.

in general cloud sql will not be as scalable as the datastore. its not a replacement, but to just fill a requirement for some things not possible with the datastore.

I see it as a move to get into the corporate world where they can be skittish about non-SQL databases. We're planning to use Cloud SQL as a reporting source, not for the day-to-day operations (i.e. CloudSQL for OLAP, datastore for OLTP). And if someone is building a tool to copy data from datastore to CloudSQL, hit me up.
