Export the Data to the SQL File

  • For exporting data to SQL file, first of launch

echo .dump | sqlite3.exe spiceworks_prod.db > spiceworks_prod.sql

Create New Database

When the SQL file is created, the users can make a new database with an ease.

Before performing it, the users should not forget to rename old corrupt database.

For creating a new database, the users can easily launch:

sqlite3.exe -init spiceworks_prod.sql spiceworks_prod.db

The command easily creates the new database with data.

Now, import the database to the spiceworks

For importing the new database to spiceworks, users need to copy the db file to db folder. User should not forget to verify whether the Spiceworks is down before just copying the files. Afterwards launch the spicework and it works better.

Users can even dump the old database, and then restore it to another database or file. Use the following command to perform rest of the task:

# echo “.dump” | sqlite old.db| sqlite new.db

In this case, we gave a command to dump the Sqlite having old database and also redirected the output to other Sqlite process comprising of new db. It is basically same as that of dumping the file and then again recovering it. This process is quite fast and does not require a big file.

Some errors can be tried to recover manually but sometimes manually working on any method is not a correct approach as it creates problems for the users in terms of backup or issues related to the corruption.
