# This app proves the Birthday Paradox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem
#
# The Birthday Paradox is counter-intuitive to common sense - select 23 people at random and
# there is a greater than 50% chance that at least two people in the group will have the same
# birthday. With 50 random people the probability goes up to 97%. These solutions ignore leap-years.

title: Convert a MySQL database to a SQLite3 database
---

<span class="intro">I wanted to convert a</span> <a href="http://mysql.org">MySQL</a> database to a <a href="http://sqlite.org">SQLite3</a> database the other day. I did some searching and found a <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ConverterTools">good script on the SQLite3 site</a> . It didn&#8217;t quite work for me, but it was close (left a bunch of random MySQL &#8220;set&#8221; statements everywhere and used MySQL&#8217;s default multiple insert syntax). After some tweaking I got it to create the file without errors. Here&#8217;s my version for anyone that needs to do the same thing (requires <em>mysqldump</em> and <em>perl</em> be installed on your system):

{% highlight bash %}

  def self.call(env)
    if env["PATH_INFO"] =~ /^\/poller/
      [200, {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}, [Time.now.to_f]]
    else
      [404, {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}, ["Not Found"]]
    end
  end
end

        method:'get',
        parameters:"since="+since,
        insertion:'top',
        onSuccess:function(r) { since = r.responseText; }
      })
    }, 4000);
