AnalyticDB:Import data using DataWorks

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

DataWorks provides a visual, codeless interface for batch data synchronization, making it simpler to set up than importing data via external tables. This approach is best suited for smaller datasets. This topic describes how to import data from ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server into AnalyticDB for MySQL using DataWorks.

When to use this method:

  • You want a codeless, visual setup without writing SQL or scripts

  • Your dataset is relatively small (for large-scale datasets, consider other methods)

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

Procedure

  1. Add an ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server data source. For details, see Add an SQL Server data source.

  2. Add an AnalyticDB for MySQL data source. For details, see Add an AnalyticDB for MySQL 3.0 data source.

  3. Configure a batch data synchronization job using the codeless UI. For details, see Configure a batch synchronization task using the codeless UI.
