Quick easy way to migrate SQLite3 to MySQL?

Here is a python script, built off of Shalmanese's answer and some help from Alex martelli over at Translating Perl to Python

I'm making it community wiki, so please feel free to edit, and refactor as long as it doesn't break the functionality (thankfully we can just roll back) - It's pretty ugly but works

use like so (assuming the script is called dump_for_mysql.py:

sqlite3 sample.db .dump | python dump_for_mysql.py > dump.sql

Which you can then import into mysql

note - you need to add foreign key constrains manually since sqlite doesn't actually support them

here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import re
import fileinput

def this_line_is_useless(line):
    useless_es = [
        'BEGIN TRANSACTION',
        'COMMIT',
        'sqlite_sequence',
        'CREATE UNIQUE INDEX',
        'PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF',
    ]
    for useless in useless_es:
        if re.search(useless, line):
            return True

def has_primary_key(line):
    return bool(re.search(r'PRIMARY KEY', line))

searching_for_end = False
for line in fileinput.input():
    if this_line_is_useless(line):
        continue

    # this line was necessary because '');
    # would be converted to \'); which isn't appropriate
    if re.match(r".*, ''\);", line):
        line = re.sub(r"''\);", r'``);', line)

    if re.match(r'^CREATE TABLE.*', line):
        searching_for_end = True

    m = re.search('CREATE TABLE "?(\w*)"?(.*)', line)
    if m:
        name, sub = m.groups()
        line = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS %(name)s;\nCREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `%(name)s`%(sub)s\n"
        line = line % dict(name=name, sub=sub)
    else:
        m = re.search('INSERT INTO "(\w*)"(.*)', line)
        if m:
            line = 'INSERT INTO %s%s\n' % m.groups()
            line = line.replace('"', r'\"')
            line = line.replace('"'
