It sits in the practical migration-tool niche rather than the embedded-database niche. ### Project history The official documentation describes SQLite3 to MySQL as a simple Python tool to transfer data from SQLite 3 to MySQL. The repository README gives the CLI behavior in more detail: `sqlite3mysql` reads the SQLite schema, creates equivalent MySQL or MariaDB structures where possible, and transfers table data. The project is distributed as a Python package, a Homebrew formula, and a Docker image according to its official README and docs. GitHub release metadata shows continuing maintenance through the 2.x series. ### Adoption history The official README documents installation from PyPI and Homebrew, plus a container image from GitHub Container Registry. The input also lists a Nix package, showing packaging beyond Python's package index. ### How it is used Users run `sqlite3mysql` with a source SQLite file, target MySQL database, MySQL user, host, and password prompt. Common recipes include schema-only transfer, loading into existing MySQL tables, transferring selected tables, refreshing target tables, using Unix sockets, SSL certificates, Docker, and chunk/log tuning. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care because sqlite3-to-mysql turns a one-off migration chore into an installable CLI with explicit packaging routes. It is useful when a project has outgrown a local SQLite file or needs to move data into MySQL/MariaDB without writing bespoke export scripts. ### Timeline - 2023: GitHub release metadata shows the 2.0.0 line published in October 2023. - 2024: The 2.3.x release line appears in GitHub release metadata. - 2026: GitHub release metadata shows 2.6.0 with added MySQL SSL certificate options. ### Related projects - The tool bridges SQLite 3 source databases with MySQL and MariaDB targets. - It complements SQLite CLI export workflows when users want direct MySQL/MariaDB DDL and data loading. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager - package-manager availability supplied in input. ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** sqlite3-to-mysql - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - sqlite3-to-mysql: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/sq/sqlite3-to-mysql/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pgloader](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pgloader/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, database-migration, migration. - [lazysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lazysql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql, sqlite. - [pgroll](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pgroll/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, migration. - [whodb-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/whodb-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql, sqlite. - [automysqlbackup](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/automysqlbackup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [dumpling](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dumpling/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [kitchen-sync](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kitchen-sync/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [mysql](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mysql/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, database, mysql. - [mysql-to-sqlite3](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mysql-to-sqlite3/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
