using jhipster I have created Angular based Monolith application (MySQL) and loaded jdl file, everything is working fine. But by mistake I have dropped MySQL database schema. Now I have recreated the database schema, but now when I run ./mvnw, it is not creating the database tables and entries any more even the login and authentication tables were also not created? Is there settings change I need to make to recreate the database all the database tables?
Liquibase does not create the schema, it creates tables, indexes, ... but only in a pre-existing database/schema. You must re-create your schema.
You can create schema from liquibase, but not a database, so you must just create database, and for schema you can use this:
<sql> CREATE SCHEMA yourSchema </sql>
I have two different databases. I have to access data from one database and insert them into another ( with some data processing included, it is not only to copy data ) Also, the schema is really complex and each table has many rows, so copying data into schema in the second database is not an option. I have to do that using MySQL Workbench, so I have to do it using SQL queries. Is there a way to create a connection from one database to another and access its data?
While MySQL Workbench can be used to transfer data between servers (e.g. as part of a migration process) it is not useful when you have to process the data first. Instead you have 2 other options:
Use a dedicated tool you write yourself to do that (as eddwinpaz mentioned).
Use the capabilities of your server. That is, copy the data to the target server, into a temporary table (using dump and restore). Then use queries to modify the data as you need it. Finally copy it to the target table.
I want to migrate the tables/data from one Oracle Schema (SISPEX) using the Copy Tables Wizard feature.
Actually, the oracle JNDI connection in my kettle file is like:
orclLocal/type=javax.sql.DataSource
orclLocal/driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
orclLocal/url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521/pdborcl.df.cgu
orclLocal/user=system
orclLocal/password=password
But when i create this oracle connection at kettle and click to "explore", it shows the desired tables under the Schema "SISPEX". And the "Tables" option is empty.
How can i get the tables of the SISPEX to appear at the "Tables" list?
I need that to use the Copy Tables Wizard and migrate those tables/data to my MySql Database.
Thanks.
Sadly you can't with the copy tables wizard. It's a known bug:

Just write a simple ETL instead - Table Input -> table output.
We are handling a data aggregation project by having several microsoft sql server databases combining to one mysql database. all mssql database have the same schema.
The requirements are :
each mssql database can be imported to mysql independently
before being able to import each record to mysql we need to validates each records with a specific createrias via php.
each imported mssql database can be rollbacked. It means even it already imported to mysql, all the mssql database can be removed from the mysql.
we would still like to know where does each record imported to the mysql come from what mssql database.
All import process will be done with PHP .
we have difficulty in many aspects. we don't know what is the best approach to solve our problem.
your help will be highly appreciated.
ps: each mssql database has around 60 tables and each table can have a few hundred thousands .
Don't use PHP as a database administration utility. Any time you build a quick PHP script to transfer records directly from one database to another, you're going to cause yourself a world of hurt when that script becomes required for production operation.
You have a number of problems that you need solved:
You have multiple MSSQL databases with similar if not identical tables.
You have a single MySQL database that you want to merge the data into.
The imported data must be altered in a specific way before being merged.
You want to prevent all duplicate records in your import.
You want to know what database each record originally came from.
The solution?
Analyze the source MSSQL databases and create a merge strategy for them.
Create a database structure on the MySQL database that fits the merge strategy in #1, including all the new key constraints (like unique and foreign keys) required for the consolidation.
At this point you have two options left:
Dump the data from each of the source databases into raw data using your RDBMS administration utility of choice. Alter that data to fit your merge strategy and constraints. Document this, and then merge all of the data into your new database structure.
Use a tool like opendbcopy to map columns from one database to another and run a mass import.
Hope this helps.
If I have a MySQL database with several tables on a live server, now I would like to migrate this database to another server. Of course, the migration I mean here involves some database tables, for example: add some new columns to several tables, add some new tables etc..
Now, the only method I can think of is to use some php/python(two scripts I know) script, connect two databases, dump the data from the old database, and then write into the new database. However, this method is not efficient at all. For example: in old database, table A has 28 columns; in new database, table A has 29 columns, but the extra column will have default value 0 for all the old rows. My script still needs to dump the data row by row and insert each row into the new database.
Using MySQLDump etc.. won't work. Here is the detail. For example: I have FOUR old databases, I can name them as 'DB_a', 'DB_b', 'DB_c', 'DB_d'. Now the old table A has 28 columns, I want to add each row in table A into the new database with a new column ID 'DB_x' (x to indicate which database it comes from). If I can't differentiate the database ID by the row's content, the only way I can identify them is going through some user input parameters.
Is there any tools or a better method than writing a script yourself? Here, I dont need to worry about multithread writing problems etc.., I mean the old database will be down (not open to public usage etc.., only for upgrade ) for a while.
Thanks!!
I don't entirely understand your situation with the columns (wouldn't it be more sensible to add any new columns after migration?), but one of the arguably fastest methods to copy a database across servers is mysqlhotcopy. It can copy myISAM only and has a number of other requirements, but it's awfully fast because it skips the create dump / import dump step completely.
Generally when you migrate a database to new servers, you don't apply a bunch of schema changes at the same time, for the reasons that you're running into right now.
MySQL has a dump tool called mysqldump that can be used to easily take a snapshot/backup of a database. The snapshot can then be copied to a new server and installed.
You should figure out all the changes that have been done to your "new" database, and write out a script of all the SQL commands needed to "upgrade" the old database to the new version that you're using (e.g. ALTER TABLE a ADD COLUMN x, etc). After you're sure it's working, take a dump of the old one, copy it over, install it, and then apply your change script.
Use mysqldump to dump the data, then echo output.txt > msyql. Now the old data is on the new server. Manipulate as necessary.
Sure there are tools that can help you achieving what you're trying to do. Mysqldump is a premier example of such tools. Just take a glance here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html
What you could do is:
1) You make a dump of the current db, using mysqldump (with the --no-data option) to fetch the schema only
2) You alter the schema you have dumped, adding new columns
3) You create your new schema (mysql < dump.sql - just google for mysql backup restore for more help on the syntax)
4) Dump your data using the mysqldump complete-insert option (see link above)
5) Import your data, using mysql < data.sql
This should do the job for you, good luck!
Adding extra rows can be done on a live database:
ALTER TABLE [table-name] ADD [row-name] MEDIUMINT(8) default 0;
MySql will default all existing rows to the default value.
So here is what I would do:
make a copy of you're old database with MySql dump command.
run the resulting SQL file against you're new database, now you have an exact copy.
write a migration.sql file that will modify you're database with modify table commands and for complex conversions some temporary MySql procedures.
test you're script (when fail, go to (2)).
If all OK, then goto (1) and go live with you're new database.
These are all valid approaches, but I believe you want to write a sql statement that writes other insert statements that support the new columns you have.
