I'm unsure of a good way to import data that I have from an old SQL-based application into app engine (big table). I'm very confused though I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
The data is not just a simple spread sheet. It consists of customers, appointments, and a few other things. They're all tied together by keys, so that adds a little to the complexity.
I realize there is a bulk uploader, that seemed more for someone with administrative access though and I was hoping to come up with a solution that would work for a user.
It seems that if I could upload a file and do it that way, that would work, but there is a 30 second limit on processes, this would likely exceed the 30 second time limit if adding a few thousand records. Maybe I could use the task queue? I think this may allow processes that take more than 30 seconds, but then I think I'd have issues synchronizing with the development server?
Its not that I don't know how to do this at all, but its that I really have no clue as to a way that will involve the least amount of headache.
