Cách di chuyển cơ sở dữ liệu từ MySQL sang Redmine

How MySQL Works

One or more clients or devices connect through a specific network and manage the database. WordPress is the best example of web database management. The process that takes place between your device and database is:

• You create a database through MySQL on your device and integrate it with Redmine. Now, you create a project and store the data in the database. The database stores the data, and you can check and manage the data through the relationship between each table.

• Then, clients or other users will make a request to the database, typing specific SQL commands on MySQL through Redmine.

• The server will respond to the request of the users and will show the database on their device.

What is Database Migration?

Database migration simply means migrating or moving your database from one platform to another. You may need to move data between platforms for various reasons. For instance, you can save a lot of money by migrating data to a cloud-based database system.

Benefits of Database Migration

Migrating your database from MySQL to Redmine offers numerous benefits. Here are some essential benefits:

Budget-Friendly

Many companies migrate their database to save money. As more companies are shifting to a cloud database, many companies are migrating their data. This helps them reduce labor costs and professional employees to manage and transfer the data.

Single True Source

If your database lacks a central location, you can transfer the data to a single platform. When there is a single platform to use for a large company, they can easily reduce errors and perform activities in real-time. For instance, if a branch of your company is located outside the city, you can reduce the steps of sharing the data and divert all the process through a single platform.

Modernize Methods

As technology advances, new applications and tools are available to help you grow with increasing opportunities. That is why many businesses are migrating from one platform to another. With big data and machine learning technology, you need more and fast space to support your needs. For instance, by migrating your database to Redmine, you can manage your projects instantly.

10. Now click on save, and all the databases that you want to migrate to the Redmine will be saved on the location you selected.

Section 2 – Importing the Database to Redmine

• To import the SQL database, you need to have admin privilege.

• Now you need to run the SQL file from the temp directory that you just saved.

• Now you need to open the terminal

• Enter the following MySQL command in the terminal

mysql -u root -p bitnami_redmine </opt/bitnami/temp/backup.sql
