GenerateHeader Property

In This Topic

Determines whether to add comments into the dump text.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property GenerateHeader As Boolean

public bool GenerateHeader {get; set;}

Property Value

true, if comments should be added into dump text; otherwise, false. The default value is false.

Remarks

Setting this property to true makes the script more user-friendly. A fragment of output may look like this:

-- dotConnect for MySQL version: 5.50.62

-- MySQL server version: 5.1.42

-- MySQL client version: 6.0.2

-- Script date 05/01/2010 6:00:18 PM

Example

This sample demonstrates dumping of two tables (Dept and Emp). The script is written to a file after the operation is complete. The script text is made more readable.

csharp

public void DumpIt(MySqlConnection myConnection)
{
  myConnection.Open();
  MySqlDump mySqlDump = new MySqlDump();
  mySqlDump.Connection = myConnection;
  myConnection.Database = "Test";
  mySqlDump.GenerateHeader = true;
  mySqlDump.Tables = "Emp;Dept";
  mySqlDump.Backup();
  StreamWriter stream = new StreamWriter("d:\\tmp\\mysqldump.dmp");
  stream.WriteLine(mySqlDump.DumpText);
  stream.Close();
  Console.WriteLine("Dumped.");
  myConnection.Close();
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub DumpIt(ByVal myConnection As MySqlConnection)
  myConnection.Open()
  Dim mySqlDump As MySqlDump = New MySqlDump
  mySqlDump.Connection = myConnection
  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
