<h2><a name="init"></a>Initializing the Utility Class</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="important"><strong>Important:</strong> In order to initialize the Utility class, your database driver must
|
||
|
|
already be running, since the utilities class relies on it.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Load the Utility Class as follows:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>$this->load->dbutil()</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Once initialized you will access the functions using the <dfn>$this->dbutil</dfn> object:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>$this->dbutil->some_function()</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2><a name="list"></a>$this->dbutil->list_databases()</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Returns an array of database names:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
$dbs = $this->dbutil->list_databases();<br />
|
||
|
|
<br />
|
||
|
|
foreach ($dbs as $db)<br />
|
||
|
|
{<br />
|
||
|
|
echo $db;<br />
|
||
|
|
}</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2><a name="exists"></a>$this->dbutil->database_exists();</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Sometimes it's helpful to know whether a particular database exists.
|
||
|
|
Returns a boolean TRUE/FALSE. 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 TRUE/FALSE based on success or failure:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
if ($this->dbutil->repair_table('table_name'))<br />
|
||
|
|
{<br />
|
||
|
|
echo 'Success!';<br />
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Not all database platforms support table repairs.</p>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
|

|
<h2><a name="optdb"></a>$this->dbutil->optimize_database();</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This features is only available for MySQL/MySQLi databases.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>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.</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>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
