## Project history and usage

sqlite3-to-mysql is a Python CLI for transferring schema and data from SQLite 3 databases into MySQL or MariaDB. 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.
