4 Simple Steps to Import JSON to Percona (GUI Mode)
Our intuitive wizard makes JSON to Percona import effortless—no technical skills needed. Follow these steps for any JSON type (standard, JSONL, MongoDB export, etc.):
-
Step 1: Connect to Your Percona Database
Select Percona as the database type, enter your Percona host, port, username, password, and target database (support for SSH/SSL), then click Connect. 📷
-
Step 2: Select Your JSON Source & Import Wizard
Choose the wizard matching your use case (1 File To 1 Table, N Files To 1 Table, N Files To N Tables, URL Source for API JSON 📷). Select JSON as file format and load your data/URL—FileToDB auto-parses the structure. 📷
-
Step 3: Configure Target Table & Fields
Select existing table or create new from JSON structure, map JSON columns to Percona fields (auto-mapping available), set load type (Replace/Append/Update/Upsert), customize date/number formats. 📷
-
Step 4: Preview & Import
Preview parsed JSON data, set optional parameters (skip rows, error handling), 📷 click Start Convert—view real-time progress and final import summary. 📷
Pro Tip: For REST API JSON—FileToDB auto-downloads the API JSON data to a local file and imports it to Percona in one workflow!
