This script converts JSON data into a MySQL database table. Each JSON object is inserted as a separate row in the table, with the keys in the JSON objects mapped to column names in the table.
The purpose of the PHP script is to automate the process of inserting JSON data into a MySQL database using PHP.
- PHP installed on your system
- Access to a MySQL database
- JSON data file to be converted
php json_to_mysql.php --file <json_file> --database <database_name> --table <table_name> [--server <server_name>] [--user <username>] [--password <password>]
--file <json_file>
: Path to the JSON file containing the data to be inserted.--database <database_name>
: Name of the MySQL database where the table will be created and data will be inserted.--table <table_name>
: Name of the table to be created in the database.--server <server_name>
(Optional): MySQL server name. Default is 'localhost'.--user <username>
(Optional): MySQL username. Default is empty.--password <password>
(Optional): MySQL password. Default is empty.
- ID Column: An 'id' column is automatically created as the primary key for the table.
- JSON Structure: The JSON data should be a flat array of objects. Nested JSON structures are not supported.
- Field Names: Field names in the JSON objects should be consistent across all objects. Each field will become a column in the MySQL table.
php json_to_mysql.php --file data.json --database my_database --table my_table --server localhost --user my_username --password my_password
This command will read the data from 'data.json' and insert it into the 'my_table' table in the 'my_database' database on the MySQL server running at 'localhost', using the specified username and password.
The purpose of the Python script is to automate the process of inserting JSON data into a MySQL database using Python.
- Python installed on your system
- Access to a MySQL database
- JSON data file to be converted
python json_to_mysql.py --file <json_file> --database <database_name> --table <table_name> [--server <server_name>] [--user <username>] [--password <password>]
--file <json_file>
: Path to the JSON file containing the data to be inserted.--database <database_name>
: Name of the MySQL database where the table will be created and data will be inserted.--table <table_name>
: Name of the table to be created in the database.--server <server_name>
(Optional): MySQL server name. Default is 'localhost'.--user <username>
(Optional): MySQL username. Default is empty.--password <password>
(Optional): MySQL password. Default is empty.
