mysqldump option

[todiadiyatmo]

Hi,
Is it possible to add mysqldump specific option , for example --lock-tables=false ? Do you interesting to add such feature ? If i want to fork it, what file i should look at ?

Kind Regards

Hi,
good suggestion, I will add it tonight.
If you want to do it in a fork you have to look at 2 files.

1. The Mysqldump Source class src/Backup/Source/Maysldump.php
   Here you have to enable the new option
2. The Mysqldump executable class
   src/Cli/Executable/Mysqldump.php
   This class actually creates the command that gets executed.

But I will add it anyway so... :)

Cheers Sebastian

Hi,
I checked the mysqldump docs.
It looks like --lock-tables doesn't take a value, so to make it not lock tables you just don't add the option.
If you run mysqldump without --lock-tables it shouldn't lock any tables.

I added the option lockTables to version 2.1.15 so you can lock tables during dumping.
You can have a look at the documentation

Cheers, Sebastian

Hi @sebastianfeldmann
Thank you for the quick patch + class code guideline :)

Actually what i mean is the ability to put extra mysql command ( not specific to lock-table).

Please check, i add "extraCommand" here :

Also from mysqldump docs, there is a tons of options available , i think it is time consuming if we port each mysqldump command to the phpbu mysqldump.

Cheers

Hi,
yes you are right it is time consuming :) to add all the options available to the mysqldump command.
But there are options that are not available in the mysqldump command that make it hard to add "custom/extra" options if that's what you want to achieve.
There are cases where phphbu will create two separate mysqldump commands and the specified custom options maybe don't make sense on both of them. So you could run into some messy problems with this.
Then there is the security issue you would add with this if the custom/extra options aren't escaped properly.

Can you please give me an example of what you want to achieve with extraCommand?

I still think it is best to separately add the options you need.
Indeed more work but more "secure" and better testable.
