Mysql Dump 0.2beta has been released.

[mahjong]

This is the first public release of Mysql Dump, with full backup and restore functionalities.

Mysql Dump is an interface for the 'mysqldump' backup tool. It can be used to dump the CMSMS database for backup or for transferring the data to another server (not necessarily a MySQL server). In other words, it allows you to dump the contents of your CMSMS database into a text file, and restore from such a file. This text file can be easily saved locally or sent to remote server.

Althought this module should work fine it is still experimental (beta). IT SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT! PLEASE TEST IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT BEFORE RELYING ON THIS MODULE.

Also, a new "Delete" function is being developed and available for tests in svn.

Mysql Dump 0.3 :

• Backup Database
• Restore Database

Do you plan a postgres dump module too?

[mahjong]

Do you plan a postgres dump module too?

Yes, but I want the Mysql Dump module fully tested and running stable before working on a spawn.

Would you be interested to participate in the development of the postgres module?

Where is located 'mysqldump.exe' on your system? In which folder?

[Piratos]

c:\www\xampp\mysql\bin

Sorry i have not read your help text.

It works, i create a dump and build a new database with the dump and with phpmyadmin.

[mahjong]

Go to the Preferences tab and put c:\www\xampp\mysql\bin in the Path to mysqldump binaries field

Most of all cannot use this module because mysqldump is a system tool for administrators and you must have the rights of root.

it is a better way to make a php solution to dump mysql and postgresql and to create a php way to restore it.

You are right. This module is not intend to be used by everybody. It's more a professional tool for people knowing what they are doing. If your system administrator doesn't trust you to use tools like mysqldump then it's best not to use the Mysql Dump module.

It is a better way to make a php solution to dump mysql and postgresql and to create a php way to restore it.

In theory. But none of the PHP scripts ever written are as complete and flexible as mysqldump. Myslqdump is a complex, sophisticated piece of software and with upmost compatibility. Start writing your own backup module, you'll see.

If you see it as a special unit for professionals it is ok, but than i can use mysqldump directly and never need a module.

[mahjong]

can use mysqldump directly and never need a module.

You can also publish a website without ever using a CMS. Doesn't make content management systems less convenient or useless.
