A command-line interface for helping domain administrators manage backup and migration of their databases.
This tool is designed to assist you in migrating data from supported SQL databases to a NuoDB database. Use nuodb-migrator dump, nuodb-migrator load, nuodb-migrator schema to copy, normalize, and load data from an existing database (NuoDB or 3rd party) to a NuoDB database. With the command-line interface, domain administrators will be able to perform the following database backup and migration tasks:
- Dump schema & data from an existing database to the file system
- Load schema & data from the file system to a target NuoDB database
- Generate a NuoDB schema from a source database
- Copy data & schema from an existing database to a target NuoDB database in one step on the fly [under development]
These functions tested on MySQL, MSSQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise and supposed to work with any JDBC-compliant database.

The migrator allows to override any default database types from the command line or using config file. To override how source column types appear in a generated schema use --type.name, --type.code, --type.size, --type.precision, --type.scale command line parameters.
--type.name is a parameter for type name template with optional placeholders for precision, scale and size variables. For each overridden type --type.name template will be used for rendering resulting type name:
- --type.name=CLOB causes to generate CLOB
- --type.name=VARCHAR({N}) results in VARCHAR type where {N} placeholder is substituted by a source column size value
- --type.name=NUMERIC({P},{S}) produces NUMERIC where {P} placeholder stands for precision & {S} is a scale of a source database type
--type.code is a parameter, which declares a source database type and it should come in pairs with --type.name parameter, to have type template name for each type code. It accepts the following expressions for the type code:
- a fully qualified type name java.sql.Types.CLOB
- short type name, such as CLOB
- integer constant for a required type, such as 2005 for CLOB type
- vendor specific int constant for a required type
--type.size, --type.precision, --type.scale are optional parameters which define (if used) maximum (right) bound of size, precision, scale for a source type and allow to render different target type names depending on source type runtime attributes.
--use.nuodb.types option loads set of type overrides from conf/nuodb-types.config and instructs the migrator to remap source CHAR, VARCHAR & CLOB column types to STRING for every matching source column from a source database during schema generation.
MySQL JDBC Driver treats the TINYINT(1) as the BIT type by default, which sometimes is unwanted behaviour. This is manipulated by tinyInt1isBit parameter, found more details at Configuration Properties for Connector/J.
If you connect as --source.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?tinyInt1isBit=true (which is equivalent to omitting tinyInt1isBit=true) and since TINYINT(1) is converted by MySQL J/Connector to BIT and NuoDBDialect transforms BIT to BOOLEAN the below table:
CREATE TABLE `t1`(`f1` TINYINT(1));will be rendered as:
CREATE TABLE "t1" ("f1" BOOLEAN);You can provide overrides on the command line to transform it to SMALLINT. The combination --source.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?tinyInt1isBit=true --type.code=java.sql.Types.BIT --type.size=0 --type.name=SMALLINT will render:
CREATE TABLE "t1" ("f1" SMALLINT);If you have tinyInt1isBit=false set in the url, use --source.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?tinyInt1isBit=false --type.code=java.sql.Types.TINYINT --type.size=3 --type.name=SMALLINT to produce SMALLINT. MySQL always reports TINYINT(1) size as 3, notice bug open http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=38171:
CREATE TABLE "t1" ("f1" SMALLINT);To interface with third-party databases through JDBC-compliant drivers you should download & install appropriate JAR files.
You can add required dependency to pom.xml, then clean & package project:
$ mvn clean install
The required JDBC driver JAR file will be download automatically to the assembly/target/nuodb-migrator/jar/ directory
Alternatively, you can download & copy required JAR file to assembly/target/nuodb-migrator/jar/ manually. For example, to install PostgreSQL JDBC4 Driver:
$ mvn clean install
$ curl http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-9.2-1001.jdbc4.jar > \
assembly/target/nuodb-migrator/jar/postgresql-9.2-1001.jdbc4.jar
To include MySQL JDBC Driver into assembly using Maven add the following dependency to pom.xml, then clean & package project:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>5.1.20</version>

For Microsoft SQL Server you might use jTDS Type 4 JDBC Driver:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.jtds</groupId>

<version>1.2.4</version>
<dependency>
For PostgreSQL add PostgreSQL Native Driver of the required version to the pom.xml file:

<groupId>postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<version>9.0-801.jdbc4</version>
</dependency>
The following examples show how to dump MySQL to a file (in the first case), and an existing NuoDB database (in the second case). The third case shows how to use the load command.
Example 1: Dump all tables from MySQL "enron" catalog in CSV format
$ bin/nuodb-migrator dump --source.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver \
--source.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test --source.catalog=test \
--source.username=<username> \
--output.type=csv --output.path=/tmp/dump.cat
Example 2: Dump records from "hockey" table where "id" is not equal to 25 from NuoDB "test" catalog in BSON format
$ bin/nuodb-migrator dump --source.driver=com.nuodb.jdbc.Driver \
--source.url=jdbc:com.nuodb://localhost/test \
--source.username=<username> \
--source.schema=hockey --table=hockey --table.hockey.filter=id<>25 \
--output.path=/tmp/dump.cat --output.type=bson
Example 3: Load CSV data to the corresponding tables in NuoDB from /tmp/dump.cat
$ bin/nuodb-migrator load --target.url=jdbc:com.nuodb://localhost/test \
--target.username=<username> --target.password=<password> \
--input.path=/tmp/dump.cat
Example 4: Generate NuoDB schema from Oracle "test" database and output it to stdout stream. To save schema in a particular file on the file system add --output.path= option, i.e. --output.path=/tmp/schema.sql
$ bin/nuodb-migrator schema --source.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver \
--source.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/test \
--source.username=<username> --source.password=<password> --source.schema=test
Example 5: Migrate schema from Microsoft SQL Server "test" database to a NuoDB database excluding generation of foreign keys and check constraints on table and column levels. Generated table names and column identifiers will be transformed using "standard" identifier normalizer (changed to upper case if unquoted).
$ bin/nuodb-migrator schema --source.driver=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver \
--source.url=jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/test \
--source.username=<username> --source.password=<password> --source.schema=dbo \
--target.url=jdbc:com.nuodb://localhost/test \
--target.username=<username> --target.password=<password> --target.schema=hockey \
--meta.data.foreign.key=false --meta.data.check.constraint=false \
--identifier.normalizer=standard
