dataset import

Synopsis

codeql dataset import --dbscheme=<file> [--threads=<num>] <options>... -- <dataset> <trap>...

Description

[Plumbing] Import a set of TRAP files to a raw dataset.

Create a dataset by populating it with TRAP files, or add data from TRAP files to an existing dataset. Updating a dataset is only possible if it has the correct dbscheme and its ID pool has been preserved from the initial import.

Options

<dataset>

[Mandatory] Path to the raw QL dataset to create or update. The directory will be created if it doesn’t already exist.

<trap>...

Paths to .trap(.gz) files to import, or to directories that will be recursively scanned for .trap(.gz) files. If no files are given, an empty dataset will be created.

-S, --dbscheme=<file>

[Mandatory] The dbscheme definition that describes the TRAP files you want to import.

-j, --threads=<num>

Use this many threads for the import operation.

Defaults to 1. You can pass 0 to use one thread per core on the machine, or -N to leave N cores unused (except still use at least one thread).

--[no-]check-undefined-labels

[Advanced] Report errors for undefined labels.

--[no-]check-unused-labels

[Advanced] Report errors for unused labels.

--[no-]check-repeated-labels

[Advanced] Report errors for repeated labels.

--[no-]check-redefined-labels

[Advanced] Report errors for redefined labels.

--[no-]check-use-before-definition

[Advanced] Report errors for labels used before they’re defined.

--[no-]fail-on-trap-errors

[Advanced] Exit non-zero if an error occurs during trap import.

--[no-]include-location-in-star

[Advanced] Construct entity IDs that encode the location in the TRAP file they came from. Can be useful for debugging of TRAP generators, but takes up a lot of space in the dataset.

Common options

-h, --help

Show this help text.

-J=<opt>

[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.

(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)

-v, --verbose

Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.

-q, --quiet

Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.

--verbosity=<level>

[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors, warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides -v and -q.

--logdir=<dir>

[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of the running subcommand.

(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead give --log-to-stderr and redirect stderr as desired.)
