Database migration tool

A tool to export data from one SQL database and import it into another.

Usage

mkdir /tmp/db
vim /tmp/db/migration.properties
java com.github.pascalgn.dbmigration.Main migrate /tmp/db

Configuration

If no configuration file can be found, a default configuration file will be written.
See migration-defaults.properties for more information.

JDBC drivers

Standard JDBC will be used to access the databases.

The following drivers have been tested to work:

H2
MS SQL
Oracle (registration required)

SSH tunnel

To connect to a database through an SSH tunnel, use the following command:

# forwards 127.0.0.1:12345 to sql-server:1433
ssh -N user@ssh-server -L 127.0.0.1:12345:sql-server:1433

Make sure to also change your migration configuration accordingly:

...
# host and port need to be separated by comma for MS SQL
source.jdbc.url=jdbc:sqlserver://127.0.0.1,12345;database=dbname
...

Docker image

This tool is also available as a docker image:

$ mkdir /tmp/db
$ vim /tmp/db/migration.properties
$ docker run -v /tmp/db:/home/dbmigration/data pascalgn/dbmigration \
      migrate /home/dbmigration/data

You can use the LOG_LEVEL environment variable to change the log output:

$ docker run -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -v /tmp/db:/home/dbmigration/data pascalgn/dbmigration

The default level is info. For more information, see the Dockerfile.

Binary format

The exported files are gzip compressed and written in the following format:

<content> ::= <version> <table-name> <columns> <rows>
<version> ::= "3"
<table-name> ::= <text>
<columns> ::= <column-count> { <column-name> <column-sql-type> }
<column-count> ::= int
<column-name> ::= <text>
<column-sql-type> ::= int
<rows> ::= { "1" <row> }
; each row contains exactly <column-count> entries
<row> ::= { <row-column> }
<row-column> ::= "0" | "1" ( <text> | <number> | <length> bytes | <date> )
<text> ::= <length> utf8-encoded-bytes
<length> ::= int
<number> ::= <scale> <length> bytes
<scale> ::= int
; dates are represented as milliseconds since January 1, 1970
<date> ::= long

Note that the exported files may consist of multiple gzip member entries.
