Usage example:</p> - -<code> -if ($this->dbutil->database_exists('database_name'))<br /> -{<br /> - // some code...<br /> -} -</code> - -<p>Note: Replace <em>database_name</em> with the name of the table you are looking for. This function is case sensitive.</p> - - - -<h2><a name="opttb"></a>$this->dbutil->optimize_table('table_name');</h2> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This features is only available for MySQL/MySQLi databases.</p> - - -<p>Permits you to optimize a table using the table name specified in the first parameter. Returns TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:</p> - -<code> -if ($this->dbutil->optimize_table('table_name'))<br /> -{<br /> - echo 'Success!';<br /> -} -</code> - -<p><strong>Note:</strong> Not all database platforms support table optimization.</p> - - -<h2><a name="repair"></a>$this->dbutil->repair_table('table_name');</h2> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This features is only available for MySQL/MySQLi databases.</p> - - -<p>Permits you to repair a table using the table name specified in the first parameter.

Returns an array containing the DB status messages or FALSE on failure.</p> - -<code> -$result = $this->dbutil->optimize_database();<br /> -<br /> -if ($result !== FALSE)<br /> -{<br /> - print_r($result);<br /> -} -</code> - -<p><strong>Note:</strong> Not all database platforms support table optimization.</p> - - -<h2><a name="csv"></a>$this->dbutil->csv_from_result($db_result)</h2> - -<p>Permits you to generate a CSV file from a query result. The first parameter of the function must contain the result object from your query. -Example:</p> - -<code> -$this->load->dbutil();<br /> -<br /> -$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mytable");<br /> -<br /> -echo $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query); -</code> - -<p>The second and third parameters allows you to -set the delimiter and newline character. By default tabs are used as the delimiter and "\n" is used as a new line. Example:</p> - -<code> -$delimiter = ",";<br /> -$newline = "\r\n";<br /> -<br /> -echo $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query, $delimiter, $newline); -</code> - -<p><strong>Important:</strong> This function will NOT write the CSV file for you. It simply creates the CSV layout. -If you need to write the file use the <a href="../helpers/file_helper.html">File Helper</a>.</p> - - -<h2><a name="xml"></a>$this->dbutil->xml_from_result($db_result)</h2> - -<p>Permits you to generate an XML file from a query result. The first parameter expects a query result object, the second -may contain an optional array of config parameters. Example:</p> - -<code> -$this->load->dbutil();<br /> -<br /> -$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mytable");<br /> -<br /> -$config = array (<br /> - 'root' => 'root',<br /> - 'element' => 'element', <br /> - 'newline' => "\n", <br /> - 'tab' => "\t"<br /> - );<br /> -<br /> -echo $this->dbutil->xml_from_result($query, $config); -</code> - -<p><strong>Important:</strong> This function will NOT write the XML file for you. It simply creates the XML layout. -If you need to write the file use the <a href="../helpers/file_helper.html">File Helper</a>.</p> - - -<h2><a name="backup"></a>$this->dbutil->backup()</h2> - -<p>Permits you to backup your full database or individual tables. The backup data can be compressed in either Zip or Gzip format.</p> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This features is only available for MySQL databases.</p> - -<p>Note: Due to the limited execution time and memory available to PHP, backing up very large -databases may not be possible. If your database is very large you might need to backup directly from your SQL server -via the command line, or have your server admin do it for you if you do not have root privileges.</p> - -<h3>Usage Example</h3> - -<code> -<dfn>// Load the DB utility class</dfn><br /> -$this->load->dbutil();<br /><br /> - -<dfn>// Backup your entire database and assign it to a variable</dfn><br /> -$backup =& $this->dbutil->backup(); - -<br /><br /> -<dfn>// Load the file helper and write the file to your server</dfn><br /> -$this->load->helper('file');<br /> -write_file('/path/to/mybackup.gz', $backup); - -<br /><br /> -<dfn>// Load the download helper and send the file to your desktop</dfn><br /> -$this->load->helper('download');<br /> -force_download('mybackup.gz', $backup); -</code> - -<h3>Setting Backup Preferences</h3> - -<p>Backup preferences are set by submitting an array of values to the first parameter of the backup function. Example:</p> - -<code>$prefs = array(<br /> - 'tables' => array('table1', 'table2'), // Array of tables to backup.<br /> - 'ignore' => array(), // List of tables to omit from the backup<br /> - 'format' => 'txt', // gzip, zip, txt<br /> - 'filename' => 'mybackup.sql', // File name - NEEDED ONLY WITH ZIP FILES<br /> - 'add_drop' => TRUE, // Whether to add DROP TABLE statements to backup file<br /> - 'add_insert' => TRUE, // Whether to add INSERT data to backup file<br /> - 'newline' => "\n" // Newline character used in backup file<br /> - );<br /> -<br /> -$this->dbutil->backup($prefs); -</code> - - -<h3>Description of Backup Preferences</h3> - -<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tableborder"> -<tr> -<th>Preference</th> -<th>Default Value</th> -<th>Options</th> -<th>Description</th> -</tr><tr> -<td class="td"><strong>tables</strong></td><td class="td">empty array</td><td class="td">None</td><td class="td">An array of tables you want backed up.
