Question

I have a relatively extensive sqlite database that I’d like to import into my Google App Engine python app.

I’ve created my models using the appengine API which are close, but not quite identical to the existing schema. I’ve written an import script to load the data from sqlite and create/save new appengine objects, but the appengine environment blocks me from accessing the sqlite library. This script is only to be run on my local app engine instance, and from there I hope to push the data to google.

Am I approaching this problem the wrong way, or is there a way to import the sqlite library while running in the local instance’s environment?

Answer 1

I would make suitable CSV files from the Sqlite data, in a separate script, then use bulk loading to push the data from the CSV files up to app engine.
