MySQL | PostgreSQL | SQL Server

This page describes how to cancel the import and export of data into Cloud SQL instances. This data is contained in either SQL dump files or CSV files.

Before you begin

Cancel the import or export operation

You can use gcloud or REST API commands to cancel an import or export operation.

gcloud

Use the gcloud sql operations cancel command to cancel the operation.

gcloud sql operations cancel operation-ID

Replace the operation-ID variable with the ID of the operation. For more information, see Before you begin.

REST v1

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

project-ID: The project ID.
operation-ID: The ID of the import or export operation. For more information, see Before you begin.

HTTP method and URL:

POST https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-ID/operations/operation-ID/cancel

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d "" \
     "https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-ID/operations/operation-ID/cancel"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-ID/operations/operation-ID/cancel" | Select-Object -Expand Content

Issue	Troubleshooting
Error message: `You can't cancel operation [operation-ID] because this operation isn't in progress.`	You're trying to cancel an import or export operation that's completed, failed, or cancelled. If the operation is running, you can cancel it.
Error message: `You can't cancel operation [operation-ID] because Cloud SQL doesn't support the cancellation of an [operation-type] operation.`	Cloud SQL doesn't support the cancellation of the operation because it has an operation type other than `IMPORT` or `EXPORT`.
Error message: `The [operation-type] operation isn't cancelled. Wait and retry in a few seconds.`	Cloud SQL can't cancel the import or export operation at this time. Try again in a few seconds. If the problem persists, contact Google Cloud Support.
