Google App Engine: How to load a data warehouse in XML or CSV format

Question

I am trying to download my data from App Engine. As suggested here , I use the following command to capture it as a CSV:

appcfg.py download_data --filename=backup.csv --application=MyAppId --url=http://MyAppId.appspot.com/remote_api --rps_limit=500 --bandwidth_limit=2500000 --batch_size=100 

But the resulting file is always a binary SQLite file, not a CSV.

How can I get my data as CSV or XML?

Answer 1

Have you read the section in the documents regarding the bulk loader ? It details how to perform bulk uploads and how to set up a configuration file that describes how to translate between CSV files and your data warehouse.
