Multi-database support for Data-importer
complete
Peter Van der Spiegel
When importing data into a self-hosted (non-aura) database with multiple databases, there seems to be no way to select which database to import into. We're developing a SaaS/PaaS application that supports multiple customers, each with their own database on a shared cluster. Getting them setup with an initial data set, would be much easier for the support team with the data importer tool.
Thanks,
Peter

We're currently planning brining multi database support to Workspace where Data Importer is available, I'll update here when we have more information on progress.

Hi Peter,
We hear you, multi database support is something we're planning for the future of Neo4j Workspace.
In the meantime there is a workaround you may want to consider. Data Importer uses the HOME database for the connected user and you have the facility to change your user's home database. Alternatively you can create new users with different default home database that can be used as a means to import into specific databases via username. For more info on setting home databases, see the docs here.
Hope that helps,
Greg

Gregory King: Hi Greg,
that does help indeed. I've created a dedicated 'importer' user, given it's role grants on it's home database. Now, whenever I want to create a new setup, I only have to switch this user's home database and I'm off.
Thanks a lot!
