spanner-dump is a command line tool for exporting a Cloud Spanner database in text format.

Exported databases can be imported to Cloud Spanner with spanner-cli.

# Export
$ spanner-dump -p ${PROJECT} -i ${INSTANCE} -d ${DATABASE} > data.sql

# Import
$ spanner-cli -p ${PROJECT} -i ${INSTANCE} -d ${DATABASE} < data.sql

Please feel free to report issues and send pull requests, but note that this application is not officially supported as part of the Cloud Spanner product.

Use cases

This tool can be used for the following use cases.

  • Export a database schema and/or data in text format for testing purposes
  • Export a database running on Cloud Spanner Emulator

For production databases, you should use an officially-provided export, which should be stable and much faster.

Limitations

  • This tool does not ensure consistency between database schema (DDL) and data. So you should avoid making changes to the schema while you are running this tool.
  • This tool does not consider data order constrained by Foreign Keys.

go install github.com/cloudspannerecosystem/spanner-dump@latest
