I dont see a mysql target on MeltanoHub right now but its possible that theres one thats just not listed.@visch did I remember you using an mysql target?
v
I wrote an mssql target that only does full table inserts. https://gitlab.com/autoidm/autoidm-target-mssql @keith_siilats forked it for mysql here https://github.com/siilats/siilats-target-mysql He said it was worked so you could give it a shot
p
Also the Meltano SDK has a new feature to use SQLAlchemy and connect to any supported DB. I'm not sure if this translates to targets yet https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-sqlalchemy. @aaronsteers do you know more about this?
r

MySQL is a pretty popular RDBMS for Transactional systems. A lot of companies tend to specialise in 1 RDBMS technology too. So it's not unusual to have a MySQL as source and MySQL as target, like in our situation, where our ODS is also using MySQL as technology, and for the time being our DataWarehouse will as well. Similarly, Oracle to Oracle or MSSQL to MSSQL, etc... Having said that, MySQL is not blessed with much in the shape of UPSERTS/MERGE functionality, so that's maybe where the limitation truly lies. So one for customisation/bespoking i suppose, building on top of what @keith_siilats has done.
