NAME
    gcloud alpha sql import sql - imports data into a Cloud SQL instance from a
        SQL dump file

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha sql import sql INSTANCE URI [--async] [--clean]
        [--database=DATABASE, -d DATABASE] [--if-exists] [--parallel]
        [--threads=THREADS] [--user=USER] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha sql import sql imports data into a Cloud SQL instance
    from a SQL dump file in Google Cloud Storage.

    NOTE: Certain roles and permissions are required to import data into Google
    Cloud SQL. For more information on importing data into Google Cloud SQL see
    Import a SQL dump file
    (https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/import-export/import-export-sql#gcloud_1).

    For detailed help on importing data into Cloud SQL, refer to this guide:
    https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/import-export/importing

EXAMPLES
    To import data from a SQL dump file into a database, testdb, on the
    specified Cloud SQL instance test-instance-1, run:

        $ gcloud sql import sql test-instance-1 \
            gs://test-bucket/test-file.sql.gz --database=testdb

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANCE
        Cloud SQL instance ID.

     URI
        Path to the MySQL dump file in Google Cloud Storage from which the
        import is made. The URI is in the form gs://bucketName/fileName.
        Compressed gzip files (.gz) are also supported.

FLAGS
     --async
        Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to
        complete.

     --clean
        Option to clean (DROP) database objects before recreating them.
        corresponds to the clean flag for pg_restore. Only applies if
        --parallel is set. PostgreSQL only.

     --database=DATABASE, -d DATABASE
        Database to which the import is made. The database needs to be created
        before importing. If not set, it is assumed that the database is
        specified in the file to be imported. If your SQL dump file includes a
        database statement, it will override the database set in this flag.

     --if-exists
        Include an SQL statement (IF EXISTS) with each DROP statement produced
        by --clean; corresponds to the if-exists flag for pg_restore. Only
        applies if --parallel is set. PostgreSQL only.

     --parallel
        Perform a parallel import. This flag is only applicable to MySQL and
        Postgres.

     --threads=THREADS
        Specifies the number of threads to use for the parallel import. If
        --parallel is specified and this flag is not provided, Cloud SQL uses a
        default thread count to optimize performance.

     --user=USER
        PostgreSQL user for this import operation.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud sql import sql

        $ gcloud beta sql import sql
