Hey,
Do you guys know how I could get a dump of the bugzilla database?

Dunno who else is on this list, but I doubt any of us analytics team folks know.
Maybe Diederek knows?

I guess you would need to ask one of the ops folks to generate a dump for you. D On 2012-08-10, at 2:27 PM, Andrew Otto wrote:

If you figure this out, let me know. I'd be interested in that as well.

Depends on what you want to do with it. If at all possible, the best thing to do is to use the API for any structured input/output you need (there are several different ways of getting structured data, e.g. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?ctype=xml&id=38994
Getting a raw DB dump is an Ops request, and one that will likely be slow because there's just enough private info in BZ to make it so we can't just give it to anyone to do whatever with, and also just enough that it's a pain to strip out the private stuff. That's why the API is an appealing option to recommend (since it respects the access level of the requestor).
Anyway, as Andrew said, probably offtopic for this list. Best thing to do is to ask around on the #wikimedia-operations channel, and then go to wikitech-l if you aren't getting an answer there.

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful responses, and sorry for not responding earlier. The API is more flexible than I initially thought, so I think I can make do it with it. Thanks for drawing my attention to it.
