A simple database agnostic import/export app to transfer data to/from a remote database.
Here’s how you start a taps server
$ taps server postgres://localdbuser:localdbpass@localhost/dbname httpuser httppassword
You can also specify an encoding in the database url
$ taps server mysql://localdbuser:localdbpass@localhost/dbname?encoding=latin1 httpuser httppassword
When you want to pull down a database from a taps server
$ taps pull postgres://dbuser:dbpassword@localhost/dbname http://httpuser:httppassword@example.com:5000
or when you want to push a local database to a taps server
$ taps push postgres://dbuser:dbpassword@localhost/dbname http://httpuser:httppassword@example.com:5000
-
Foreign Keys get lost in the schema transfer
-
Large tables get slower as the offset gets larger. This is due to it being inefficient having large offset values in queries. This only affects tables without a single primary key.
-
Tables without primary keys will be incredibly slow to transfer.
