I have mydatabase.db file and I want it to be conveted to mydatabase.sql file.
How to do this?. Thank you.
Is there any sqlite command?. or any software to convert this, or any mysql command?.
There is simple sqlite command:
sqlite3 database.sqlite3 .dump >> database.sql
Note the dot before "dump". This is special command to sqlite3 cli client eg. dot-commands.
For Ubuntu, sqlite3 can be installed by:
apt-get install sqlite3
You can try Valentina Studio (license is free, crashes far less than MesaSQLite)
Steps:
Open the .db file in Valentina Studio
Select a table in schema editor
Right/Alternate click the table name
Generate SQL
Show Create
And in a new editor tab that appears, you will have a sql create statement you can use for your mysql server. Note: Depending on the complexity of your table you may need to apply corrected syntax for it to work in mysql.
If you need to copy the rows contained in your selected table you can create a dump (from right click on table) and then import.
DB Browser for SQLite http://sqlitebrowser.org it's free and unlike Valentina Studio requires no registration and does not have a 10 minute timeout period.
To use just open .db file then from the file menu select 'Export' -> 'Database to SQL file..'

I am using MYSQL Workbench and I want to clone a database on the same server with different name. It should duplicate the all the tables structure and data into the new database.
I know the usual way is probably using data export to generate a sql script of the database and then run the script on the new database but I encounter some issues with it.
Anyway, is there any better way or easier way to do so?
You can use migration wizard from MySQL Workbench. Just choose the same local connection in both source and target selection, then change schema name on manual editing step. If nothing appears on manual editing step click next and the source and targets will appear. Click slowly on the source database name and edit to the correct name. Go thorough to the end and voilà - you have two identical databases with different names. Note you must have created the target database already and granted permissions to it for the MySQL Workbench user.
I tried to do it in MySQL Workbench 8.0. However I kept receiving an error regarding column-statics. The main idea is to use mysqldump.exe, located in the installation directory of MySQL Workbench, to export the data. So, supposing a Windows oriented platform:
Open Powershell, navigate to mysqldump.exe directory. In my case the command is:
cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE
Export database by executing mysqldump providing the right arguments:
./mysqldump.exe --host=[hostServerIP] --protocol=tcp --user=[nameOfUser] --password=[yourPassword] --dump-date=FALSE --disable-keys=FALSE --port=[portOfMysqlServer] --default-character-set=utf8 --skip-triggers --column-statistics=0 "[databaseName]"
Without changing directory, import the exported file (.sql) by using the following command in Powershell:
Get-Content "[pathToExportedDataFile]" | ./mysql.exe --user=[nameOfUser] --password=[yourPassword] --port=[portOfMysqlServer] --host=[hostServerIP] --database=[nameOfNewDatabase] --binary-mode=1
You can check in the documentation here for more information regarding the mysqldump options.
Please note the following:
Do not forget to replace the values in [] with your own values and remove the []. Do not remove the quotes("") where the are present.
Do not switch Powershell for cmd or something like git-bash, since the above will not work.
As far as step 3 is concerned, I created the new database from MySQL Workbench and then ran the powershell command.
List item First, create a new database using CREATE DATABASE statement.
Second, export all the database objects and data of the database from which you want to copy using mysqldump tool.
Third, import the SQL dump file into the new database.
I created a test database for my Java program which connects to it. Now I want to use it on another PC without this test database. Is it possible to create an instance of my database to install it on a certain PC?
Notes:
The PC I want to use my Database on has no MYSQL installed
Questions:
How can I setup my database with a batch file?
Do I need to install MYSQL first or is it possible to use my database without it?
If MYSQL needs to be installed, how can I do it and how can I include my already created tables via batch file?
Edit:
We already have the tables but a new database should be installed on when the program starts the first time.
Yes. You can import your data on PC without installation of MySQL using mysqlimport.
shell> mysqlimport [options] db_name textfile1 [textfile2 ...]
There are many options available for mysqlimport. See here mysqlimport --help, -?.
NOTE : It uses .txt file.
I'm trying to learn SQL and I downloaded a database to practice. I downloaded two files of extension .sql, one is the schema and the other one the actual data. I've also installed MySQL Workbench. I've been googling and I've been trying things to solve this but I don't understand Workbench and I can't load the database.
Where do I import the schema and the data in order to try queries ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
This is simple in Workbench, and I'll use the freely available sakila database as an example. Feel free to apply this to your situation:
Download "sakila" from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/index-other.html
Extract it somewhere, in my case, onto the Desktop into a new sakila-db/ directory
Open Workbench
In the Schema Navigator, right-click an empty area and choose "Create Schema"
In the schema creation wizard, name it "sakila", keep the defaults, hit "Apply", finish wizard
Go to "File" -> "Run SQL Script..."
Choose "sakila-schema.sql", make sure "Default Schema Name" is blank or select "sakila", execute
Go to "File" -> "Run SQL Script..."
Choose "sakila-data.sql", execute
Click the "refresh" icon in the Workbench Schema Navigator (or restart Workbench)
Now, use the populated sakila database :)
Steps (4) and (5) are optional in this case (as executing sakila-schema.sql creates the schema), but the idea is worth mentioning.
Here's how it would look when loading th script into the SQL IDE:
The accepted answer is from 4 years ago, so I thought I'd give an update as in MySQL Workbench 6.3 the procedure is a bit different.
You have to select the menu item Server -> Data Import -> Import from Self-Contained File and select the SQL file containing the database you want to import.
In Default Target Schema, select the database you want to import the SQL dump to, or create a new empty database via New...
Then click on Start Import.
You could use mysql console from terminal. Login through the user id and pass. Then create a Database from the following command is the .sql file does not have one such command to create so.
Create database db-name
use db-name;
SOURCE xyz.sql;
Source command would load the the content from xyz.sql to your database created. This would be reflected later in workbench indeed.
Its very easy on Linux platform just follow below mentioned steps, After downloading zip file of sakila-db, extract it. Now you will have two files, one is sakila-schema.sql and other one is sakila-data.sql.
Open terminal
Enter command mysql -u root -p < sakila-schema.sql
Enter command mysql -u root -p < sakila-data.sql
Now enter command mysql -u root -p and enter your password, now you have entered into mysql system with default database.
To use sakila database, use this command use sakila;
To see tables in sakila-db, use show tables command
Please take care that extracted files are present in home directory else provide the absolute path of these files in all above commands.
i have my windows form application in my home pc. i want to migrate it to my college PC.how to transfer MySQL database using GUI from one pc to another both running windows
I've never worked with mysql-workbench, but here's a fast and simple solution using the commandline:
Export
mysqldump -u [uname] -p db_name > db_backup.sql
Import
mysql -u username -p -h localhost DATA-BASE-NAME < db_backup.sql
Only for MyISAM tables, you can simply copy and paste the three files that you will find in the database folder inside 'C:\xampp\mysql\data' or similar.
These files have the extensions, .frm, .MYI and .MYD
Once you've pasted the files flush the tables via command or a GUI tool and you have a duplicate of the table on the original machine.
For more about these files see, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyISAM
If you prefer a more graphically oriented way of doing that use MySQL Workbench -> Management -> Data Export on the source machine. Likewise -> Data Import on the target box. It allows you to easily select individual tables/schemas, creates a self-contained dump file or individual files for each table in case you want to have greater control over what to import etc.
i finally figured out the problem..
i first exported the data using the tab on the left hand side
i selected the appropriate location for the exported file to be saved.(it created an sql query files of the database)
i then copied it to my pen drive and pasted it on the other PC
i installed workbench on the destination PC and imported the sql files but couldnt execute them. it said you dont have a connection something like that. i then searched for servies on my pc in that i got a list of all the services on my pc. search for mysqlxx(where x= integer) right click on it and select start.
then go back to the workbench and execute the sql file the file will execute successfully but you wont be able to see the database.
close workbench and reopen it you now will be able to see the database
The title is self explanatory. Is there a way of directly doing such kind of importing?
The .BAK files from SQL server are in Microsoft Tape Format (MTF) ref: http://www.fpns.net/willy/msbackup.htm
The bak file will probably contain the LDF and MDF files that SQL server uses to store the database.
You will need to use SQL server to extract these. SQL Server Express is free and will do the job.
So, install SQL Server Express edition, and open the SQL Server Powershell. There execute sqlcmd -S <COMPUTERNAME>\SQLExpress (whilst logged in as administrator)
then issue the following command.
restore filelistonly from disk='c:\temp\mydbName-2009-09-29-v10.bak';
GO
This will list the contents of the backup - what you need is the first fields that tell you the logical names - one will be the actual database and the other the log file.
RESTORE DATABASE mydbName FROM disk='c:\temp\mydbName-2009-09-29-v10.bak'
WITH
MOVE 'mydbName' TO 'c:\temp\mydbName_data.mdf',
MOVE 'mydbName_log' TO 'c:\temp\mydbName_data.ldf';
GO
At this point you have extracted the database - then install Microsoft's "Sql Web Data Administrator". together with this export tool and you will have an SQL script that contains the database.
MySql have an application to import db from microsoft sql.
Steps:
Open MySql Workbench
Click on "Database Migration" (if it do not appear you have to install it from MySql update)
Follow the Migration Task List using the simple Wizard.
I did not manage to find a way to do it directly.
Instead I imported the bak file into SQL Server 2008 Express, and then used MySQL Migration Toolkit.
Worked like a charm!
In this problem, the answer is not updated in a timely. So it's happy to say that in 2020 Migrating to MsSQL into MySQL is that much easy. An online converter like RebaseData will do your job with one click. You can just upload your .bak file which is from MsSQL and convert it into .sql format which is readable to MySQL.
Additional note: This can not only convert your .bak files but also this site is for all types of Database migrations that you want.
Although my MySQL background is limited, I don't think you have much luck doing that. However, you should be able to migrate over all of your data by restoring the db to a MSSQL server, then creating a SSIS or DTS package to send your tables and data to the MySQL server.
hope this helps
I highly doubt it. You might want to use DTS/SSIS to do this as Levi says. One think that you might want to do is start the process without actually importing the data. Just do enough to get the basic table structures together. Then you are going to want to change around the resulting table structure, because whatever structure tat will likely be created will be shaky at best.
You might also have to take this a step further and create a staging area that takes in all the data first n a string (varchar) form. Then you can create a script that does validation and conversion to get it into the "real" database, because the two databases don't always work well together, especially when dealing with dates.
The method I used included part of Richard Harrison's method:
So, install SQL Server 2008 Express
edition,
This requires the download of the Web Platform Installer "wpilauncher_n.exe"
Once you have this installed click on the database selection ( you are also required to download Frameworks and Runtimes)
After instalation go to the windows command prompt and:
use sqlcmd -S \SQLExpress (whilst
logged in as administrator)
then issue the following command.
restore filelistonly from
disk='c:\temp\mydbName-2009-09-29-v10.bak';
GO This will list the contents of the
backup - what you need is the first
fields that tell you the logical names
- one will be the actual database and the other the log file.
RESTORE DATABASE mydbName FROM
disk='c:\temp\mydbName-2009-09-29-v10.bak' WITH MOVE 'mydbName' TO
'c:\temp\mydbName_data.mdf', MOVE
'mydbName_log' TO
'c:\temp\mydbName_data.ldf'; GO
I fired up Web Platform Installer and from the what's new tab I installed SQL Server Management Studio and browsed the db to make sure the data was there...
At that point i tried the tool included with MSSQL "SQL Import and Export Wizard" but the result of the csv dump only included the column names...
So instead I just exported results of queries like "select * from users" from the SQL Server Management Studio
SQL Server databases are very Microsoft proprietary. Two options I can think of are:
Dump the database in CSV, XML or similar format that you'd then load into MySQL.
Setup ODBC connection to MySQL and then using DTS transport the data. As Charles Graham has suggested, you may need to build the tables before doing this. But that's as easy as a cut and paste from SQL Enterprise Manager windows to the corresponding MySQL window.
For those attempting Richard's solution above, here are some additional information that might help navigate common errors:
1) When running restore filelistonly you may get Operating system error 5(Access is denied). If that's the case, open SQL Server Configuration Manager and change the login for SQLEXPRESS to a user that has local write privileges.
2) #"This will list the contents of the backup - what you need is the first fields that tell you the logical names" - if your file lists more than two headers you will need to also account for what to do with those files in the RESTORE DATABASE command. If you don't indicate what to do with files beyond the database and the log, the system will apparently try to use the attributes listed in the .bak file. Restoring a file from someone else's environment will produce a 'The path has invalid attributes. It needs to be a directory' (as the path in question doesn't exist on your machine).
Simply providing a MOVE statement resolves this problem.
In my case there was a third FTData type file. The MOVE command I added:
MOVE 'mydbName_log' TO 'c:\temp\mydbName_data.ldf',
MOVE 'sysft_...' TO 'c:\temp\other';
in my case I actually had to make a new directory for the third file. Initially I tried to send it to the same folder as the .mdf file but that produced a 'failed to initialize correctly' error on the third FTData file when I executed the restore.
The .bak file from SQL Server is specific to that database dialect, and not compatible with MySQL.
Try using etlalchemy to migrate your SQL Server database into MySQL. It is an open-sourced tool that I created to facilitate easy migrations between different RDBMS's.
