[ARCHIVED] Import Canvas Data into MySQL Database

[nresearcher]

I have been able to download Canvas data using canvasDataCli, but what I'm ultimately interested in doing is importing canvas data (with headers) into MySql. I would appreciate instructions on how to accomplish this.

Thank you.

Hi  @nresearcher ​ -- You posted this question in our Alliance Partner - AspirEDU​ discussion space but we don't have anything to do with Canvas data.  I think you'll want to ask this in a group specific to Canvas data.

Hello,

Just to follow on to what Chris already posted, I went ahead and moved this question to Canvas Data​.

Thanks,

Scott

Hey there!

There's some good info on how to do this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13579810/how-to-import-data-from-text-file-to-mysql-database​

Here's the official MySQL documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/load-data.html​

Hi NYCLYA Researcher,

 @James ​ from Richland U, created a fantastic GitHub repository to connect Canvas Data into MySQL, PHP, and Perl
