Console Command Export

Console command: export database

Export database

Export the current opened database to a file. The exported file is in JSON format using the Export-Format. By default the file is compressed using the GZIP algorithm. The Export/Import commands allow to migrate between engine releases without loosing data. If you receive an error about the database version, export the database using the same version of OrientDB that has generated the database.

Then Import it with the new one. The database will be imported and will be ready to be used.

Syntax

    export database <output-file>

Where:

• output-file Output file path
