Skip Import

[Rockyyost]

Is there anyway to skip a full import? If I've already most of the data in the destination table and would only like to start the tailing only, how could I do that? I see the command to skip tailing, but is there one to skip full import?

There's no option to do so, currently. You could force it to skip by populating the mosql_tailers table, which is where MoSQL stores its current progress. We do have a --tail-from option, to start tailing at a specific point, but it doesn't suppress the initial import. It's quite possible that it should, though.

What we do is just alter the postgres table by adding the column we need. Then we just a touch on our mongo table that we need which causes an update and the data comes over.
