This topic unites posts which describe approaches, tools, and solutions to import and export data into InterSystems IRIS and other InterSystems Data platform products: CSV, JSON, SQL, flat files, binary files, globals, streams, etc.
Suppose I have full access to InterSystems IRIS database instance A and want to export a consistent part of the data and import it into another InterSystems IRIS instance B. Classes are equal.
What are the most general and convenient options for me?
Hello. When you export and then import a table of data, is the import smart enough to figure out if a row already exists in the new namespace, and if so update the row rather than just save/add the row?
For example, we have a table in DEV, and the same table in QA. The DEV table has more fields than QA. When we moved up the class, the field definitions went with the table into QA, so now the table definition is the same in both.
I have a process that is importing lots of data from an external file, but every now and then I come across a STORE error.
I know that the STORE error is occurring in the %Save method of the class but I know very little else and I think its something to do with a lage amounts of Related Objects.
Is there a method of finding out more information regarding this error i.e. which actual object was being saved etc etc.
If you want to import data from a mySQL export file (exported with mysqldump), you will find here a little script that could help.
Only the INSERT commands in the sql file are executed into Caché. Indices are not computed for better performance. %NOINDEX, %NOCHECK and %NOLOCK are generated on each INSERT line.
Currently, the file can not contain a "),(" pattern inside the values part of the INSERT command. If this is the case, the line is skipped. This feature may be implemented in the extractValuesList method.
