DB2Azure CLI

db2az is a powerful command-line interface (CLI) designed to transfer data from on-premises SQL Server (MSSQL), PostgreSQL, and MySQL databases to Azure Blob Storage. This CLI supports both interactive and non-interactive modes, allowing for seamless and flexible data migration workflows.

Features

• Database Support: MSSQL, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
• Azure Integration: Uploads data to Azure Blob Storage in JSON or CSV formats.
• Interactive Mode: User-friendly prompts to guide through the configuration.
• Non-Interactive Mode: Direct execution with command-line options for automation.
• Logging: Detailed logs for troubleshooting and monitoring.
• Error Handling: Provides descriptive error messages for quick resolution.

Installation

Ensure Python is installed on your system. Then run the following command in your terminal:

pip install db2azure db2azure-cli

Usage

The CLI supports two modes:

Interactive Mode

Run the db2az CLI without any command-line options to enter interactive mode. You will be prompted to:

1. Select the database type (MSSQL, PostgreSQL, or MySQL).
2. Provide the source configuration file path (with database connection and query).
3. Provide the destination configuration file path (with Azure Blob Storage settings).
4. Choose the file format (JSON or CSV).

Non-Interactive Mode

In non-interactive mode, provide all necessary options via the command line:

> db2az [OPTIONS]

Options

Option	Description
-ms	Use MSSQL database
-my	Use MySQL database
-pg	Use PostgreSQL database
-sf	Source config file path (server config)
-df	Destination config file path (Azure config)
-csv	File format as CSV
-json	File format as JSON
-log	Directory to save log files

Example:

db2az -ms -sf source_config.json -df azure_config.json -csv -log logs/

Configuration

Source Configuration File

The source configuration file should include the database connection parameters and query, e.g.:

{
  "connection_params": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": "5432",
    "dbname": "SampleDB",
    "user": "username",
    "password": "password"
  },
  "query": "SELECT * FROM public.users"
}

Destination Configuration File

The destination configuration file should include Azure Blob Storage settings, e.g.:

{
  "container_name": "my-container",
  "folder_path": "my-folder",
  "file_name": "data.json",
  "azure_blob_url": "https://<account_name>.blob.core.windows.net",
  "sas_token": "<your_sas_token>"
}

Logging

If the -log option is specified, logs will be saved in the specified directory. Logs include information about the execution process, errors, and upload status.

Error Handling

The CLI provides detailed error messages in case of failures. Example:

{
  "status": "error",
  "message": "Connection failed: Invalid credentials"
}
