dbimport support for tenant databases

The database which is exported by dbexport is not possible to import as tenant database by dbimport. In the current implementation, the tenant database should be created by SQL Admin API first. dbimport is by default creating the new database as the initial step before schema creation and data loading. If the database exists it crashes. It's not possible to use it for the migration purposes - from non-tenant to tenant database.

    You can use myimport to import the database into a previously created tenant database using the myimport -n option! My import can import the results of a dbexport session or of a myexport session and it is faster than dbimport when using the -E option.

    Hi,

     

    dbimport has an undocumented (why???)  option "-exists".

     

    We are using this daily in automated scripts.

     

    Regards
