DotNet-Soddi (Stack Overflow Data Dump Importer)

Install

Nuget (with prereleases)

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-soddi --version 0.2.0

Inspirited by the original Soddi, DotNet-Soddi is a console application that assists in not just importing the Stack Overflow data dumps, but also obtaining them.

Features

  • Discover archives from the command line.
  • Importing data from xml files or stream directly from the .7z archive files.
  • Download archive files from the command line via HTTP based on their site name.
  • Download archive files via BitTorrent based on their site name.

Limitations

Not all features of Soddi are supported.

  • It's only for SQL Server.
  • Full Text isn't supported.

Download and install a database in two lines

The following command will download the archive for the math.stackexchange.com, then import it into an existing database named math.stackexchange.com

soddi download math
soddi import math -d math.stackexchange.com

Because of the size of the database and the bandwidth of archive.org, you might be better off using the torrent option. The following command will do everything required to connect to the appropriate trackers and peers to download the math database and exit upon completion.

soddi torrent math
