Tecdoc Mysql: New ((full))

Technical White Paper: Implementing the TecDoc Database Structure in MySQL

Subject: Migration, Optimization, and Management of TecDoc Data in a MySQL Environment Target Audience: Backend Developers, Database Administrators, Automotive Software Engineers.

2. Standardized Community Schema

One of the biggest breakthroughs is the emergence of a community-driven MySQL schema for TecDoc. While TecAlliance provides a logical model, the "new" MySQL schemas available on GitHub (like tecdoc-mysql-sync or autodata-mysql-bridge) offer: tecdoc mysql new

Indexed lookups: Pre-built indexes for OEM numbers, GenericArticleIds, and VehicleIds.
JSON Support: Using MySQL’s native JSON data type to store complex attributes that don't fit neatly into columns (e.g., dynamic part attributes like "brake disc diameter").
Partitioning: Logical partitioning by vehicle make to speed up queries for specific brands like BMW or Toyota.

Step 4: The Import Script (Python Example)

Using the "new" streaming method to load 1 million records quickly: Indexed lookups: Pre-built indexes for OEM numbers ,

import mysql.connector
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
3. Importing TecDoc data efficiently

Use bulk CSV or XML imports; TecDoc packages often include XML/CSV dumps.
Load into staging tables first using LOAD DATA INFILE for CSV or a streaming XML parser for large XML.
Validate and normalize IDs, map external TecDoc IDs to local IDs, deduplicate using hashing on manufacturer+part_number.
Use transactions and chunked upserts (INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE) for idempotent sync.
For attributes-heavy rows, store raw JSON into parts.attributes_json and process frequently-used attributes into columns.


Option A: From CSV (if you converted TecDoc dump)
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/brands.csv'
INTO TABLE brands
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLATED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;

Guide: Setting Up a New MySQL Database for TecDoc Data
Stream XML (Doesn't load the whole file)
for event, elem in ET.iterparse('tecdoc_articles.xml', events=('end',)):
if elem.tag == 'Article':
# Extract data
gai = elem.get('GenericArticleId')
nr = elem.find('ArticleNr').text Step 4: The Import Script (Python Example) Using
    # Insert into MySQL
    cursor = db.cursor()
    cursor.execute("INSERT INTO tecdoc_articles (generic_article_id, article_nr) VALUES (%s, %s) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE article_nr = %s", (gai, nr, nr))
    db.commit()
    elem.clear() # Clear memory
