Importing an existing database
The process of importing or loading data requires you to create an AuraDB instance beforehand. |
There are two ways you can import data from an existing Neo4j database into an Aura instance.
The easiest way is to export a Neo4j database as a .dump file and use the Import database process. This process, however, only works for .dump files under 4GB.
If the size of the .dump file exported from a database is greater than 4GB, you must use the Neo4j Admin database upload
method.
Import database
To import a .dump file under 4GB:
-
Navigate to the Neo4j Aura Console in your browser.
-
Select the instance you want to import the data.
-
Select the Import Database tab.
-
Drag and drop your .dump file into the provided window or select Select a .dump file and select your file.
-
Select Upload.
When the upload is complete, the instance goes into a Loading
state as the dump is applied.
Once this has finished, the instance returns to its Running
state; and the data is ready.
