NAME

gcloud alpha sql instances import - imports data into a Cloud SQL instance from Google Cloud Storage

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha sql instances import INSTANCE URI [--async] [--database=DATABASE, -d DATABASE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) (DEPRECATED) Imports data into a Cloud SQL instance from Google Cloud Storage.

This command is deprecated and will be removed in version 205.0.0. Use gcloud sql import sql instead.

Note: authorization is required. For more information on importing data into Google Cloud SQL see https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/import-export/importing.

Cloud SQL supports importing CSV files and SQL dump files from both MySQL and PostgreSQL. For more information on how to create these export formats, see https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/import-export/creating-sqldump-csv

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

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.

FLAGS

--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.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

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.

NOTES

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 instances import

$ gcloud beta sql instances import
