This json parameter uses a custom data structure defined by this plugin for the import/export of SQLite table structure and data.
There are two top-level keys, both of which are optional:
{
"structure": ...,
"data": ...
}
Defines the table structure of the SQLite DB and other non-data-related SQL statements (e.g. index definitions). There are two possible keys:
{
"structure":{
"tables": ...,
"otherSQL": ...
}
}
A key/value map which defines table structure, where the key is the table name and the value is the SQL table definition.
Note: on importing a tables structure, if a table with same name as a key exists in the target database, it will be dropped and recreated using the specified table structure.
For example, the SQL statement CREATE TABLE Artist ([Id] PRIMARY KEY, [Title]); would have the corresponding tables entry:
{
"structure":{
"tables": {
"Artist":"([Id] PRIMARY KEY, [Title])"
}
}
}
A list of SQL statements which are not related to table structure or data insertion, for example the creation of indices, for example:
{
"otherSQL": [
"CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Artist_ID ON Artist(Id)"
]
}
Defines data to insert into database tables. There are 3 optional keys:
{
"structure":{
"data": {
"inserts": ...,
"updates": ...,
"deletes": ...
}
}
}
A key/value map of row data to insert, where the key is the table name and the value is a list of row data objects in which the key is the field name and the value is the field value.
For example, the SQL statement:
INSERT INTO Artist(Id,Title) VALUES ('6','Jane');
Would be represented as:
{
"structure":{
"data": {
"inserts": {
"Artist":[
{
"Id":"6",
"Title":"Jane"
}
]
}
}
}
}
A key/value map of row data to update, where the key is the table name and the value is a list of row update objects. A row update update consists of a where key which identifies the row to update via the primary key and a set object which defines the row data to insert.
For example, the SQL statement:
UPDATE Artist SET Title='Susan' WHERE Id='2';
Would be represented as:
{
"structure":{
"data": {
"updates": {
"Artist":[
{
"set": {
"Title":"Susan"
},
"where": {
"Id":"2"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
A key/value map of rows to delete, where the key is the table name and the value is an object define the primary key of the row to delete.
For example, the SQL statement:
DELETE FROM Artist WHERE Id='5';
Would be represented as:
{
"structure":{
"data": {
"updates": {
"Artist":[
{
"Id":"5"
}
]
}
}
}
}
A JSON structure to create a table structure, but not insert any row data, might look like this:
{
"structure":{
"tables":{
"Album":"([AlbumId] PRIMARY KEY, [Title])",
"TrackDetails":"([TrackId] PRIMARY KEY, [Name])"
},
"otherSQL": [
"CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Album_ID ON Album(AlbumId)"
]
}
}
A JSON structure to create a table structure and insert row data might look like this:
{
"structure":{
"tables":{
"Album":"([AlbumId] PRIMARY KEY, [Title])",
"TrackDetails":"([TrackId] PRIMARY KEY, [Name])"
},
"otherSQL": [
"CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Album_ID ON Album(AlbumId)"
]
},
"data":{
"inserts":{
"Album":[
{
"AlbumId":"1",
"Title":"Fred"
},
{
"AlbumId":"2",
"Title":"Bob"
},
{
"AlbumId":"3",
"Title":"Tom"
},
{
"AlbumId":"4",
"Title":"Dick"
},
{
"AlbumId":"5",
"Title":"Harry"
}
],
"TrackDetails":[
{
"TrackId":"1",
"Name":"This track is cool"
},
{
"TrackId":"1",
"Name":"This track sucks"
}
]
}
}
}
A JSON structure which updates row data but doesn't change the table structure might look like this:
{
"data":{
"inserts":{
"Artist":[
{
"Id":"1",
"Title":"Fred"
},
{
"Id":"2",
"Title":"Bob"
}
]
},
"updates":{
"Artist":
[
{
"set": {
"Title":"Jill"
},
"where": {
"Id":"3"
}
},
{
"set": {
"Title":"Susan"
},
"where": {
"Id":"4"
}
}
]
},
},
"deletes":{
"Artist":[
{
"Id":"5"
},
{
"Id":"6"
}
]
}
}
}
