Dump the contents of a database

This repo contains an easy to use class to dump a database using PHP. Currently MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported. Behind the scences mysqldump and pg_dump are used.

Here's a simple example of how to create a dump of MySQL-datbase:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

And here's the PostgreSQL version of that:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\PostgreSql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

Requirements

For dumping MySQL-db's mysqldump should be installed For dumping PostgreSQL-db's pg_dump should be installed.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

$ composer require spatie/db-dumper

Usage

MySQL

This is the simplest way to create a dump of the db:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

If the mysqldump binary is installed in a non default location you can let the package know by using thesetDumpBinaryPath()-function:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
    ->setDumpBinaryPath('/custom/location')
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

PostreSQL

This is the simplest way to create a dump of the db:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\PostgreSql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

If the pg_dump binary is installed in a non default location you can let the package know by using the setDumpBinaryPath()-function:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\PostgreSql::create()
    ->setDumpBinaryPath('/custom/location')
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');
