From 6c7a4266410070d30f8f6bcdf9c9e67f3d6478e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Andreev Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 11:33:58 +0300 Subject: [ci skip] 3.1.5 release --- user_guide_src/source/database/utilities.rst | 316 --------------------------- 1 file changed, 316 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 user_guide_src/source/database/utilities.rst (limited to 'user_guide_src/source/database/utilities.rst') diff --git a/user_guide_src/source/database/utilities.rst b/user_guide_src/source/database/utilities.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 114291f85..000000000 --- a/user_guide_src/source/database/utilities.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,316 +0,0 @@ -###################### -Database Utility Class -###################### - -The Database Utility Class contains methods that help you manage your -database. - -.. contents:: - :local: - :depth: 2 - -****************************** -Initializing the Utility Class -****************************** - -.. important:: In order to initialize the Utility class, your database - driver must already be running, since the utilities class relies on it. - -Load the Utility Class as follows:: - - $this->load->dbutil(); - -You can also pass another database object to the DB Utility loader, in case -the database you want to manage isn't the default one:: - - $this->myutil = $this->load->dbutil($this->other_db, TRUE); - -In the above example, we're passing a custom database object as the first -parameter and then tell it to return the dbutil object, instead of -assigning it directly to ``$this->dbutil``. - -.. note:: Both of the parameters can be used individually, just pass an empty - value as the first one if you wish to skip it. - -Once initialized you will access the methods using the ``$this->dbutil`` -object:: - - $this->dbutil->some_method(); - -**************************** -Using the Database Utilities -**************************** - -Retrieve list of database names -================================ - -Returns an array of database names:: - - $dbs = $this->dbutil->list_databases(); - - foreach ($dbs as $db) - { - echo $db; - } - - -Determine If a Database Exists -============================== - -Sometimes it's helpful to know whether a particular database exists. -Returns a boolean TRUE/FALSE. Usage example:: - - if ($this->dbutil->database_exists('database_name')) - { - // some code... - } - -.. note:: Replace *database_name* with the name of the database you are - looking for. This method is case sensitive. - -Optimize a Table -================ - -Permits you to optimize a table using the table name specified in the -first parameter. Returns TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:: - - if ($this->dbutil->optimize_table('table_name')) - { - echo 'Success!'; - } - -.. note:: Not all database platforms support table optimization. It is - mostly for use with MySQL. - -Repair a Table -============== - -Permits you to repair a table using the table name specified in the -first parameter. Returns TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:: - - if ($this->dbutil->repair_table('table_name')) - { - echo 'Success!'; - } - -.. note:: Not all database platforms support table repairs. - -Optimize a Database -=================== - -Permits you to optimize the database your DB class is currently -connected to. Returns an array containing the DB status messages or -FALSE on failure. - -:: - - $result = $this->dbutil->optimize_database(); - - if ($result !== FALSE) - { - print_r($result); - } - -.. note:: Not all database platforms support database optimization. It - it is mostly for use with MySQL. - -Export a Query Result as a CSV File -=================================== - -Permits you to generate a CSV file from a query result. The first -parameter of the method must contain the result object from your -query. Example:: - - $this->load->dbutil(); - - $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mytable"); - - echo $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query); - -The second, third, and fourth parameters allow you to set the delimiter -newline, and enclosure characters respectively. By default commas are -used as the delimiter, "\n" is used as a new line, and a double-quote -is used as the enclosure. Example:: - - $delimiter = ","; - $newline = "\r\n"; - $enclosure = '"'; - - echo $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query, $delimiter, $newline, $enclosure); - -.. important:: This method will NOT write the CSV file for you. It - simply creates the CSV layout. If you need to write the file - use the :doc:`File Helper <../helpers/file_helper>`. - -Export a Query Result as an XML Document -======================================== - -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:: - - $this->load->dbutil(); - - $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mytable"); - - $config = array ( - 'root' => 'root', - 'element' => 'element', - 'newline' => "\n", - 'tab' => "\t" - ); - - echo $this->dbutil->xml_from_result($query, $config); - -.. important:: This method will NOT write the XML file for you. It - simply creates the XML layout. If you need to write the file - use the :doc:`File Helper <../helpers/file_helper>`. - -******************** -Backup Your Database -******************** - -Database Backup Notes -===================== - -Permits you to backup your full database or individual tables. The -backup data can be compressed in either Zip or Gzip format. - -.. note:: This feature is only available for MySQL and Interbase/Firebird databases. - -.. note:: For Interbase/Firebird databases, the backup file name is the only parameter. - - $this->dbutil->backup('db_backup_filename'); - -.. 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. - -Usage Example -============= - -:: - - // Load the DB utility class - $this->load->dbutil(); - - // Backup your entire database and assign it to a variable - $backup = $this->dbutil->backup(); - - // Load the file helper and write the file to your server - $this->load->helper('file'); - write_file('/path/to/mybackup.gz', $backup); - - // Load the download helper and send the file to your desktop - $this->load->helper('download'); - force_download('mybackup.gz', $backup); - -Setting Backup Preferences -========================== - -Backup preferences are set by submitting an array of values to the first -parameter of the ``backup()`` method. Example:: - - $prefs = array( - 'tables' => array('table1', 'table2'), // Array of tables to backup. - 'ignore' => array(), // List of tables to omit from the backup - 'format' => 'txt', // gzip, zip, txt - 'filename' => 'mybackup.sql', // File name - NEEDED ONLY WITH ZIP FILES - 'add_drop' => TRUE, // Whether to add DROP TABLE statements to backup file - 'add_insert' => TRUE, // Whether to add INSERT data to backup file - 'newline' => "\n" // Newline character used in backup file - ); - - $this->dbutil->backup($prefs); - -Description of Backup Preferences -================================= - -======================= ======================= ======================= ======================================================================== -Preference Default Value Options Description -======================= ======================= ======================= ======================================================================== -**tables** empty array None An array of tables you want backed up. If left blank all tables will be - exported. -**ignore** empty array None An array of tables you want the backup routine to ignore. -**format** gzip gzip, zip, txt The file format of the export file. -**filename** the current date/time None The name of the backed-up file. The name is needed only if you are using - zip compression. -**add_drop** TRUE TRUE/FALSE Whether to include DROP TABLE statements in your SQL export file. -**add_insert** TRUE TRUE/FALSE Whether to include INSERT statements in your SQL export file. -**newline** "\\n" "\\n", "\\r", "\\r\\n" Type of newline to use in your SQL export file. -**foreign_key_checks** TRUE TRUE/FALSE Whether output should keep foreign key checks enabled. -======================= ======================= ======================= ======================================================================== - -*************** -Class Reference -*************** - -.. php:class:: CI_DB_utility - - .. php:method:: backup([$params = array()]) - - :param array $params: An associative array of options - :returns: raw/(g)zipped SQL query string - :rtype: string - - Perform a database backup, per user preferences. - - .. php:method:: database_exists($database_name) - - :param string $database_name: Database name - :returns: TRUE if the database exists, FALSE otherwise - :rtype: bool - - Check for the existence of a database. - - .. php:method:: list_databases() - - :returns: Array of database names found - :rtype: array - - Retrieve a list of all the database names. - - .. php:method:: optimize_database() - - :returns: Array of optimization messages or FALSE on failure - :rtype: array - - Optimizes the database. - - .. php:method:: optimize_table($table_name) - - :param string $table_name: Name of the table to optimize - :returns: Array of optimization messages or FALSE on failure - :rtype: array - - Optimizes a database table. - - .. php:method:: repair_table($table_name) - - :param string $table_name: Name of the table to repair - :returns: Array of repair messages or FALSE on failure - :rtype: array - - Repairs a database table. - - .. php:method:: csv_from_result($query[, $delim = ','[, $newline = "\n"[, $enclosure = '"']]]) - - :param object $query: A database result object - :param string $delim: The CSV field delimiter to use - :param string $newline: The newline character to use - :param string $enclosure: The enclosure delimiter to use - :returns: The generated CSV file as a string - :rtype: string - - Translates a database result object into a CSV document. - - .. php:method:: xml_from_result($query[, $params = array()]) - - :param object $query: A database result object - :param array $params: An associative array of preferences - :returns: The generated XML document as a string - :rtype: string - - Translates a database result object into an XML document. -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
