| Summary | 0009453: enable data export | ||||
| Description | Given that it is clear that there will be merchants that host their business data at some operator, we need to implement some data export functionality that enables a merchant to export all business data from one instance and to re-import that business data at another instance. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I'm thinking that one way to do this *easily* might be to break up all tables that have an instance ID in them into new per-schema tables, so basically instead of everything in the 'merchant' schema, have 'merchant-$INSTANCE' schema. Populate that when an instance is being created, and then export / import the entire *schema* when migrating the instance. That would make it HARD to migrate if merchant backends use different versions (probably OK!), but otherwise radically simplify the migration logic itself (just dump/import the schema). We probably would keep the instance-table itself outside of the schema, as setting new credentials on the target backend is likely a good thing. Plus that way we can use that table to *discover* all the schema we expect. |
