Dump the contents of a database

This repo contains an easy to use class to dump a database using PHP. Currently MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported. Behind the scenes mysqldump, pg_dump and sqlite3 are used.

Here's are simple examples of how to create a database dump with different drivers:

MySQL

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

PostgreSQL

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

SQLite

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\Sqlite::create()
    ->setDbName($pathToDatabaseFile)
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

Requirements

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

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

For dumping SQLite-db's sqlite3 should be installed.

Postcardware

You're free to use this package (it's MIT-licensed), but if it makes it to your production environment you are required to send us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using.

Our address is: Spatie, Samberstraat 69D, 2060 Antwerp, Belgium.

The best postcards will get published on the open source page on our website.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

$ composer require spatie/db-dumper

Usage

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

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

If you're working with PostgreSQL just use that dumper, most methods are available on both the MySql. and PostgreSql-dumper.

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

If the mysqldump (or pg_dump) 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');

Dump specific tables

Using an array:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->includeTables(['table1', 'table2', 'table3'])
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

Using a string:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->includeTables('table1, table2, table3')
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

Excluding tables from the dump

Using an array:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->excludeTables(['table1', 'table2', 'table3'])
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

Using a string:

Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
    ->setDbName($databaseName)
    ->setUserName($userName)
    ->setPassword($password)
    ->excludeTables('table1, table2, table3')
    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');

Adding extra options

If you want to add an arbitrary option to the dump command you can use addOption

$dumpCommand = MySql::create()
    ->setDbName('dbname')
    ->setUserName('username')
    ->setPassword('password')
    ->addExtraOption('--xml')
    ->getDumpCommand('dump.sql', 'credentials.txt');
