(ALPHA) gcloud alpha sql import sql imports data into a Cloud SQL instance from a SQL dump file in Google Cloud Storage.
NOTE: Certain roles and permissions are required to import data into Google Cloud SQL. For more information on importing data into Google Cloud SQL see Import a SQL dump file https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/import-export/import-export-sql#gcloud_1.
For detailed help on importing data into Cloud SQL, refer to this guide: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/import-export/importing
To import data from a SQL dump file into a database, testdb, on the specified Cloud SQL instance test-instance-1, run:
$ gcloud sql import sql test-instance-1 \ gs://test-bucket/test-file.sql.gz --database=testdb
- INSTANCE
Cloud SQL instance ID.
- URI
Path to the MySQL dump file in Google Cloud Storage from which the import is made. The URI is in the form gs://bucketName/fileName. Compressed gzip files (.gz) are also supported.
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --database=DATABASE, -d DATABASE
Database to which the import is made. If not set, it is assumed that the database is specified in the file to be imported. If your SQL dump file includes a database statement, it will override the database set in this flag.
- --user=USER
PostgreSQL user for this import operation.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
$ gcloud sql import sql
$ gcloud beta sql import sql
