Thanks Simon,

I have installed MySQL libraries by using

"pip install pymysql" command. It got installed successfully.

On running CommCare export command, I am getting below error message.

It looks like that module may have some binary components that need to be
installed separately. Here is a stack overflow thread with a number of
potential solutions to this issue:

Hi Support team,

This is to put in revised followup, regarding CommCare-Export tool's data
export to MySQL database;
we have tried in many ways, as whatever available resources in your site as
well as in github, but every time, we are facing issue related to
'sqlalchemy'.

We have installed required libraries for MySQL, as suggested by Simon in
last mail (

"pip install pymysql"), but still issue not resolved.

Kindly suggest and help us to resolve, are we missing some steps related to
configuration of 'sqlalchemy'?, also please elaborate as what is this
'sqlalchemy'?

Will appreciate your quick help in this context, as it is long pending
request at your end.

Did you see my reply on December 2nd? I'll copy that again here in case
you missed it:

It looks like that module may have some binary components that need to be

installed separately. Here is a stack overflow thread with a number of
potential solutions to this issue:
python - ImportError: No module named MySQLdb - Stack Overflow
mysqldb

When I searched for your error message on google, I found a number of
reports of similar issues. "pip install mysql" might not be enough, you
may need to install some dependencies through your operating system's
package manager (apt-get, for Ubuntu), as suggested in the above link.
SQLAlchemy is a library used for interacting with SQL databases from python
programs.

Hi Ethan,

Thank you.

The URL,

odule-named-mysqldb
has given me idea about installing MySQL-Python from pip win, but
unfortunately it did not worked for me.

However, I surfed and got a site:

which has given me the idea to install: MySQL-python-1.2.5.win32-py2.7.exe
to resolve MySQL issue, and I got succeeded to resolve MySQL error at my
end.

Thank you. I moved one step ahead.

Now when I am using commcare-export to export data to MySQL, it is
automatically adding an 'id' field as primary key in MySQL table, but there
no such field or value coming from CommCare HQ or in my --query file, so
the insert statement is getting failed. Although the data is downloading
and showing on screen, but no inserts in MySQL.

Please refer below error message and suggest:

Hi Simon,

Many-many thanks for your prompt support and reply.

I referred the documentation again, and modified my --query file for 'id'
field.

Now I got succeeded in Commcare-Export to MySQL data integration.

Once again, many thanks to Simon, Ben and Ethan, and whole CommCare Support

Hi Ethan,

Thank you.

The URL,

python - ImportError: No module named MySQLdb - Stack Overflow
odule-named-mysqldb
has given me idea about installing MySQL-Python from pip win, but
unfortunately it did not worked for me.

However, I surfed and got a site: https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=soeIgysM-XU

which has given me the idea to install: MySQL-python-1.2.5.win32-py2.7.exe
to resolve MySQL issue, and I got succeeded to resolve MySQL error at my
end.

Thank you. I moved one step ahead.

Now when I am using commcare-export to export data to MySQL, it is
automatically adding an 'id' field as primary key in MySQL table, but there
no such field or value coming from CommCare HQ or in my --query file, so
the insert statement is getting failed. Although the data is downloading
and showing on screen, but no inserts in MySQL.

Please refer below error message and suggest:

Thanks Simon.
Its all becomes possible because of prompt support from your side.

Now the data is getting exported to MySQL table from CommCare HQ.

Its Ok, but now, I am facing next challenge, and explaining step by step:

  1. If I am exporting the data for first time, it is getting exported to
    MySQL perfectly.

  2. If I am exporting the same data/form, 2nd time, without any
    change/insert in my form, the commcare-export tool executing without any
    error.

  3. Now, if I am adding more records in my form, and exporting same form
    with some added records,
    then commcare-export tool showing error message like, "Table Already
    Exists
    ". Yes table was created in step #1.

From commcare-export tool behavior, I have observed that, it is creating
the table every time, you export the data.

My expectation is,
if table does not exists, then it should create the table,
else if table exists, then it should insert new records in the table,
without showing error message like, "Table Already Exists".

Note: I am not using --since parameter, as I am looking for automating this
data export process, and can not do dynamic date change in my command line.

Please suggest the resolution.

I wouldn't expect that. If you run the same command twice it should just
add any new data and then exit.

Here's a command that I run:

commcare-export --query query.xlsx --output-format=sql
--output=mysql+pymysql://username:password@localhost:3306/mydb --username
me@email.com --project myproject

If I run that same command multiple times it just exists without showing
any error or other infromation.

Hi Support team,

we have tried in many ways, as whatever available resources in your

'sqlalchemy'.

We have installed required libraries for MySQL, as suggested by
Simon in last mail (

"pip install pymysql"), but still issue not resolved.

Kindly suggest and help us to resolve, are we missing some steps
related to configuration of 'sqlalchemy'?, also please elaborate as what is

Will appreciate your quick help in this context, as it is long

Now the data is getting exported to MySQL table from CommCare HQ.

My expectation is,

Note: I am not using --since parameter, as I am looking for automating

  1. If I am exporting the data for first time, it is getting exported to
    MySQL perfectly.

  2. If I am exporting the same data/form, 2nd time, without any
    change/insert in my form, the commcare-export tool executing without any

  3. Now, if I am adding more records in my form, and exporting same form
    with some added records,
    then commcare-export tool showing error message like, "Table Already
    Exists
    ". Yes table was created in step #1.

And, I am running following command for export:

commcare-export --username AAAAAA --password ###### --output-format sql
--output mysql://root:root@localhost:3306/myDbName --project my-test-proj
--query D:\QueryFile.xlsx

Issue is coming only when, MySQL table already exists, and I am adding some
more records in my form, then exporting the form's data. See step #3 above.

Now when I am using commcare-export to export data to MySQL, it is
automatically adding an 'id' field as primary key in MySQL table, but there
no such field or value coming from CommCare HQ or in my --query file, so
the insert statement is getting failed. Although the data is downloading
and showing on screen, but no inserts in MySQL.

Please refer below error message and suggest:

may need to install some dependencies through your operating system's

We have installed required libraries for MySQL, as suggested by

Hi Simon,

Please refer below the steps of my query:

  2. If I am exporting the same data/form, 2nd time, without any

  3. Now, if I am adding more records in my form, and exporting same form

    then commcare-export tool showing error message like, "Table Already

And, I am running following command for export:

--output mysql://root:root@localhost:3306/myDbName --project my-test-proj
--query D:\QueryFile.xlsx

Issue is coming only when, MySQL table already exists, and I am adding
some more records in my form, then exporting the form's data. See step #3
above.

Its all becomes possible because of prompt support from your side.

Now the data is getting exported to MySQL table from CommCare HQ.

Its Ok, but now, I am facing next challenge, and explaining step by
step:

  2. If I am exporting the same data/form, 2nd time, without any

From commcare-export tool behavior, I have observed that, it is
creating the table every time, you export the data.

My expectation is,
if table does not exists, then it should create the table,
else if table exists, then it should insert new records in the table,
without showing error message like, "Table Already Exists".

Note: I am not using --since parameter, as I am looking for automating
this data export process, and can not do dynamic date change in my command
line.

Please suggest the resolution.

Hi Ajay

The issue you're experiencing is a bug in the version of the export tool
you are using. Upgrading to the latest version will fix it:

pip install -U commcare-export

Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,

Please refer below the steps of my query:

  1. If I am exporting the data for first time, it is getting exported to
    MySQL perfectly.

  2. If I am exporting the same data/form, 2nd time, without any
    change/insert in my form, the commcare-export tool executing without any
    error.

  3. Now, if I am adding more records in my form, and exporting same form
    with some added records,
    then commcare-export tool showing error message like, "Table Already
    Exists
    ". Yes table was created in step #1.

And, I am running following command for export:

commcare-export --username AAAAAA --password ###### --output-format sql
--output mysql://root:root@localhost:3306/
​​
myDbName --project my-test-proj --query D:

Issue is coming only when, MySQL table already exists, and I am adding
some more records in my form, then exporting the form's data. See step #3
above.

Its all becomes possible because of prompt support from your side.

Now the data is getting exported to MySQL table from CommCare HQ.

Its Ok, but now, I am facing next challenge, and explaining step by
step:

  1. If I am exporting the data for first time, it is getting exported
    to MySQL perfectly.

  2. If I am exporting the same data/form, 2nd time, without any

    then commcare-export tool showing error message like, "Table
    Already Exists
    ". Yes table was created in step #1.

From commcare-export tool behavior, I have observed that, it is
creating the table every time, you export the data.

My expectation is,
if table does not exists, then it should create the table,
else if table exists, then it should insert new records in the table,
without showing error message like, "Table Already Exists".

Note: I am not using --since parameter, as I am looking for
automating this data export process, and can not do dynamic date change in
my command line.

Please suggest the resolution.

The URL,

unfortunately it did not worked for me.

However, I surfed and got a site: https://www.youtube.com/

which has given me the idea to install: MySQL-python-1.2.5.win32-py2.7.exe
to resolve MySQL issue, and I got succeeded to resolve MySQL error at my

Thank you. I moved one step ahead.

Now when I am using commcare-export to export data to MySQL, it
is automatically adding an 'id' field as primary key in MySQL table, but
there no such field or value coming from CommCare HQ or in my --query file,
so the insert statement is getting failed. Although the data is downloading
and showing on screen, but no inserts in MySQL.

When I searched for your error message on google, I found a

enough, you may need to install some dependencies through your operating

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have upgraded the commcare-export tool by following command:


pip install -U commcare-export

but still, it is giving me same error (as sent in previous mail's attached
file), as follows:

Note: I am sending last lines of error message:

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError)
(1050, "Table 'registration' already exists") [SQL: u'\nCREATE TABLE
