I feel like this is a stupid question because it seems like common sense

  • 0

I feel like this is a stupid question because it seems like common sense . . . but no google search I can put together seems to be able to give me the answer!

I know how to get data OUT of a sqlite3 database using the .dump command. But now that I have this ASCII file titled export.sqlite3.sql . . . I can’t seem to get it back INTO the database I want.

My goal was to transfer the data I had in one rails app to another so I didn’t have to take all sorts of time creating dummy data again . . . so I dumped the data from my first app, got rid of all the CREATE TABLE statements, and made sure my schema on my second app matches . . . now I just have to get it IN there.

Would anyone mind helping me out? And when you find a way, will you tell me what you plugged into the google, ’cause I am beating my head open with a spoon right now over what I thought would be an easy find.

    cat dumpfile.sql | sqlite3 my_database.sqlite 

    This is modified from the sqlite3 getting started guide.
