I've found what I think is the best solution, and it sounds quite
obvious thinking about it. Define the table, do a select on the old
database and an insert on the new database. This leverages all
SQLAlchemy's cleverness in converting types, etc. and keeps the ORM out
of the picture. The code I'm using is:
model = __import__(sys.argv[1])
if sys.argv[2] == 'copy':
seng = create_engine(sys.argv[3])
deng = create_engine(sys.argv[4])
for tbl in model.metadata.table_iterator():
deng.execute(tbl.insert(), [dict(x) for x in
seng.execute(tbl.select())])
All it relies on is that you call your MetaData "metadata". At the
moment, it chokes on names that contain a dash (or maybe it's ones that
use key=), but I'm sure I can workaround that. When I'm done, I'll put
this up as a recipe.
