I am still a novice in python, but I have the long term goal to create a plugin one day. The first step to this plugin is a test with QGIS python scripts to convert an Access mdb into sqlite db and then to proceed from there.
I found a python script here that will dump an Access mdb into a sqlite db.
The script is normally called from commandline with this patter: python AccessDump.py access.mdb | sqlite3 new.db
I now try to change the script, so i can run it as a QGIS script from the Processing Toolbox, but I really lack the basics so far.
Original script:
#!/usr/bin/env python # # AccessDump.py # A simple script to dump the contents of a Microsoft Access Database. # It depends upon the mdbtools suite: # http://sourceforge.net/projects/mdbtools/ import sys, subprocess, os DATABASE = sys.argv[1] # Dump the schema for the DB subprocess.call(["mdb-schema", DATABASE, "mysql"]) # Get the list of table names with "mdb-tables" table_names = subprocess.Popen(["mdb-tables", "-1", DATABASE], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0] tables = table_names.splitlines() print "BEGIN;" # start a transaction, speeds things up when importing sys.stdout.flush() # Dump each table as a CSV file using "mdb-export", # converting " " in table names to "_" for the CSV filenames. for table in tables: if table != '': subprocess.call(["mdb-export", "-I", "mysql", DATABASE, table]) print "COMMIT;" # end the transaction sys.stdout.flush() I already understood the basic mechanism to first read out the table schema of the .mdb for each table, and then export tables content into the newly created db. However, I have no clue how to change the script so that I do not need that | sqlite3 new.db - part from the original shell command, but integerate it into the script, respectivly change new.db to be the output variable from the script dialog.
##Database=group ##Access.mdb to SqLite=name ##inputmdb= input file ##outputsqlite = output file Any help on this is highly appreciated.
