Import to existing MySQL DataStore

Published 13 years ago

Hello,

I've been using a MySQL data store for my connections. Now my coworker has sent me an XML Export of his list of servers. There will be some redundancy. If I import his XML into MySQL what will happen with identical connections? Will they all get duplicated, or will I be prompted for a decision?

Thanks!

Mike

There are several hundred entries. What happens if I select all? Will it detect duplicates? The help page doesn't address this question.

Hi

We detect duplicates using our internal IDs, so coming from another database they will not have the same value.

We support having multiple different entries for the same hosts. We also support creating duplicates under different folders in order to apply different security settings per parent folder. Because of that, we cannot even assume that an identical session is meant to function in a similar fashion wihout looking at the ancestry chain.

We havent implement this complicated algorithm yet because of the many edges cases.
