Tag: autobackup of database in php

It is usual that we need to backup the database in software development (specially in Enterprise Software,web applications ) Database is very important which contains all the information about the organization. Last night I have coded a auto backup script in both JAVA and PHP. Here I am gonna post them below with comment.

class create_backup{

    String database = "your_database_name",  user = "root", password = "pass";
    Connection m_Connection = null;
    Statement m_Statement = null;
    ResultSet m_ResultSet;
    String m_Driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
    String m_Url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/" + database;

    public create_backup(){

        /*Eshtablishment of Connection of java code with MySQL using JDBC
         You must read my previous post to know further about this. 
         */
        try {
            Class.forName(m_Driver);
            m_Connection = DriverManager.getConnection(m_Url, user, password);
            //Create Statement object
            m_Statement = m_Connection.createStatement();

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        try {
            //Database will be stored in filename.sql which can be import on MySQl as backup
            BufferedWriter  out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("kernel_school.sql"));


            //Now here is the informations about the database of which backup will be created
            String dump = "C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.0/bin/mysqldump " //Path to mysql
                    + "--host=localhost" //Mysql hostname
                    + "--port=3306" //Mysql portnumber
                    + "--user=root" //Mysql username
                    + "--password=pass" //Mysql password

                    + "--add-drop-database" //Add a DROP DATABASE statement before each CREATE DATABASE statement
                    + "--complete-insert" //Use complete INSERT statements that include column names.
                    + "--extended-insert" //Use multiple-row INSERT syntax that include several VALUES lists
                    + "kernel_school";                  //Mysql databasename


            //executing the command through process.
            Process run = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(dump);


            /*resultant SQL informations are here on the br which can be read line by line .
            And at the same time it will be written on another sql file.*/
            InputStream in = run.getInputStream();
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(in);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            String line = null;

            while ((line = br.readLine())!=null) {
                 out.write(line);
                 out.newLine();
            }

       out.flush(); // must flush or close the file after completing the task.
        // int exitVal = run.waitFor();//when exitVal is ,then the process is completed

        } catch (Throwable t) {
            t.printStackTrace();
      }

    }//constructor
 } // class



public class autobackup {
    public static void main(String a[]){
            new create_backup();
    }
}
