Xataface Forums

Does Xataface have a command to make .sql dump backups? I've been trying a few different methods, but an integrated solution would really be more effective here. Basically just an action (like, say, -action=sql_dump) which dumps the entire database as a valid .sql file.

There isn't currently an SQL Dump action in Xataface. You could implement it yourself. There are 2 strategies I can think of:
1. Use exec() to call mysqldump on the command line.
2. Build the SQL manually .

You may want to dig through the source of PHPMyAdmin and see if there is anything you can borrow for dumping.

Trouble with this method is that XAMPP doesn't seem to have a mysqldump command. Hmm.

Trouble with this method is that I'm too lazy to do it.

This is a good idea. I'll tear apart PHPMyAdmin this afternoon.

Thanks again.
