I personally like to know what the data, I use in applications, looks like. Importing and altering the OSM-Data to GIS into PostgresSQL does not cut it for me, because I personaly find MySql for data exploration easier to use. I did not find "up-to-date" tools to get the OSM-Format straight into MySql, so I wrote this command-line tool to do the job.

• Plattform: Node.js >= v6.10.3 should run on previous versions, but is not tested

  dependencies:

  • htmlparser2
  • mysqljs/sqlstring

• Datbase: (optional) MySql 5.5.3 or higher. It works without a database, if you just want to save the MySql-output to disk and import it elsewhere.

• Recommended: diskspace on a fast harddrive and a nice chunk of RAM for the database

• Install Node.js (http://nodejs.org/)
• (optionally) Install MySql locally (e.g. from http://www.apachefriends.org)
• Download and unpack the source code to a directory of your choice
• Use npm install in that directory to install the dependencies
• Create a DB named e.g. 'osm' and import the schema at ./sql/osm_structure.sql and a MySql-client of your choice
• Get the .osm file you want to import from (http://www.openstreetmap.org) or mirrors there of

Basic: node osm_to_mysql_dump.js YourOSMXML-Document.osm

Converts and outputs "YourOSMXML-Document.osm" to MySQL and outputs it to the screen.

Write MySql to file:

Assuming your OSM-XML-file resides already in the directory you installed osm_to_mysql_dump in. Simply run the command-line:

node osm_to_mysql_dump.js [infile].osm > [outfile].sql

You can then import the SQL-file into a MySql-Database with your mysql-native client or something like phpMyAdmin.

e.g. mysql -uroot -hlocalhost -pPASSWORD osm < convertedOSM.sql

Write MySql directly into the database via '|'-Operator and native client:

node osm_to_mysql_dump.js nordrhein-westfalen-latest.osm | mysql -uroot -pYOURPASSHERE -hlocalhost osm

On a windows-system this would look something like this:

node e:\gits\osm_to_mysql_dump\osm_to_mysql_dump.js e:\gits\nordrhein-westfalen-latest.osm | E:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql -uroot -pYOURPASSHERE -hlocalhost osm
