Hi everyone, Thanks for the response so far--we'll be getting back to you over the next few days. I'd like to point out an existing feature which will be helpful to many of you: --dump and --restore. This will download or upload all of the entities for a particular Kind and save them in a local sqlite database. It's useful for general backup (e.g. a weekly backup), and also useful for moving data across applications, such as between your app running on the dev_appserver and on App Engine, or to load a staging instance with a known set of test data.
You can find more information here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata.html#Downloading_and_Uploading_All_Data Also, for Java developers, there is a remote API handler available; adding following to your web xml file should work (disclaimer: I have not yet personally tested this.) <servlet> <servlet-name>remoteapi</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.google.apphosting.utils.remoteapi.RemoteApiServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>remoteapi</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/remote_api</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>remoteapi</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/remote_api</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>admin</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> --Matthew On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Matthew Blain <matthew.bl...@google.com>wrote: > Hi App Engine developers, > We're working on some improvements and additions to the bulk loader to > make it easier to move data between the App Engine Datastore and other > data files you may have.
