About
This module provides the mysqltotsv.Splitter class and a CLI tool to allow conversion of large MySQL dumps to the TSV format.
The module assumes the MySQL dump to be encoded in UTF-8 format.
This is primarily intended for large MySQL dumps where opening them with a text editor is impractical and handling them is easier through a tool.
Install
To install from pypi:
pip3 install --user mysqltotsv
Usage
The following command takes a MySQL dump and creates a separate TSV file for each table found inside (the output directory needs to be present):
python3.7 mysql-to-tsv.py --file dump.sql --outdir out1
There is also a switch to only process certain tables and skip the rest. Example:
python3.7 mysql-to-tsv.py --file dump.sql --outdir out1 --table-filter=updates,updates_edited
More details about the CLI switches:
usage: mysql-to-tsv.py [-h] --file FILE --outdir OUTDIR
[--table-filter TABLE_FILTER] [--only-schema]
[--strip-quotes]
