Flarum Database Dumper
======================

[](#flarum-database-dumper)

Warning

This extension has been renamed and significantly improved. It is now replaced by **[`acpl/flarum-db-snapshots`](https://github.com/android-com-pl/flarum-db-snapshots)**.

The new extension supports both creating **AND** restoring database dumps.

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Basic usage:

```
# Dump to storage/dumps/dump-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.sql
php flarum db:dump

# Dump to specific path/file
php flarum db:dump /path/to/backup.sql
php flarum db:dump ../backups/forum.sql

# Dump with compression (based on extension)
php flarum db:dump /backups/dump.sql.gz   # gzip compression
php flarum db:dump /backups/dump.sql.bz2  # bzip2 compression

# Create backup on live site without locking tables
php flarum db:dump --single-transaction --quick --lock-tables=false
```

### Options

- `--compress`: Use compression (`gz` or `bz2`), e.g. `--compress=gz` for gzip
- `--include-tables=table1,table2`: Include only specific tables

- `--skip-structure`: Skip table structure

- `--skip-auto-increment`: Skip AUTO\_INCREMENT values
