MySqlDump Class
In This Topic
Serves to store a database or its parts as a script and to restore database from the generated script.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public NotInheritable Class MySqlDump 
   Inherits Devart.Common.DbDump
   Implements System.ComponentModel.IComponent, System.IDisposable 
 
Remarks
MySqlDump by its behaviour is similar to mysqldump program.

Use Tables property to specify a list of tables to be stored. If Tables property is an empty string all tables will be included into the dump text. To generate a script call Backup method. Result script can be viewed in DumpText. To run it on a database, use Restore method.

When generating scripts, all operations are executed within database that MySqlConnection.Database property of associated MySqlConnection object references to. When restoring tables using the generated script, the property MySqlConnection.Database is used only if IncludeDatabase has been set to false in the moment of script generation.

If the MySqlConnection.Unicode is true, MySqlDump uses UTF8, otherwise it uses default encoding.

Note: This class is not available in .NET Standard 1.3 compatible assembly. It is available only in the assembly for full .NET Framework and .NET Standard 2.0 compatible assembly.

Note: This class is available with dotConnect for MySQL Professional edition only.

Example
The following example creates a MySqlDump component and executes backup of the specified tables using Backup method. After execution of backup operation the result is saved at d:\tmp\mysqldump.dmp file. The second routine executes the generated script using Restore method. 
public void DumpIt(MySqlConnection myConnection)
{
  myConnection.Open();
  MySqlDump mySqlDump = new MySqlDump();
  mySqlDump.Connection = myConnection;
  myConnection.Database = "Test";
  mySqlDump.IncludeDrop = true;
  mySqlDump.GenerateHeader = true;
  mySqlDump.Tables = "Dept;Emp";
  mySqlDump.Backup();
  StreamWriter stream = new StreamWriter("d:\\tmp\\mysqldump.dmp");
  stream.WriteLine(mySqlDump.DumpText);
  stream.Close();
  Console.WriteLine("Dumped.");
  myConnection.Close();
}

public void UnDumpIt(MySqlConnection myConnection)
{
  myConnection.Open();
  MySqlDump mySqlDump = new MySqlDump();
  mySqlDump.Connection = myConnection;
  myConnection.Database = "Test";
  StreamReader stream = new StreamReader("d:\\tmp\\mysqldump.dmp");
  mySqlDump.DumpText = stream.ReadToEnd();
  stream.Close();
  mySqlDump.Restore();
  Console.WriteLine("Restored.");
  myConnection.Close();
}
Public Sub DumpIt(ByVal myConnection As MySqlConnection)
  myConnection.Open()
  Dim mySqlDump As MySqlDump = New MySqlDump
  mySqlDump.Connection = myConnection
  myConnection.Database = "Test"
  mySqlDump.IncludeDrop = True
  mySqlDump.GenerateHeader = True
  mySqlDump.Tables = "Emp;Dept"
  mySqlDump.Backup()
  Dim stream As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter("d:\tmp\mysqldump.dmp")
  stream.WriteLine(mySqlDump.DumpText)
  stream.Close()
  Console.WriteLine("Dumped.")
  myConnection.Close()
End Sub

Public Sub UnDumpIt(ByVal myConnection As MySqlConnection)
  myConnection.Open()
  Dim mySqlDump As MySqlDump = New MySqlDump
  mySqlDump.Connection = myConnection
  myConnection.Database = "Test"
  Dim stream As StreamReader = New StreamReader("d:\tmp\mysqldump.dmp")
  mySqlDump.DumpText = stream.ReadToEnd()
  stream.Close()
  mySqlDump.Restore()
  Console.WriteLine("Restored.")
  myConnection.Close()
End Sub
