Why --- [](#why) 1. You are inside a PHP only environment, like a PHP Docker image 2. You need to import a large mysql dump 3. You don't have access to the native `mysql` client Performance ----------- [](#performance) Speed is exactly the **same** of the original `mysql` binary thanks to streams usage. Supported formats ----------------- [](#supported-formats) Input typeExampleSupported?`mysqldump` output*as is*✔️Single query on single line`SELECT NOW();`✔️Single query on multiple lines`SELECT` `NOW();`✔️Multiple queries on separated single or multiple lines`SELECT NOW();` `SELECT` `NOW();`✔️Multiple queries on single line`SELECT NOW();SELECT NOW();`❌Usage ----- [](#usage) The library provides two usages, the binary and the `\SlamMysql\Mysql` class. ### From CLI [](#from-cli) ``` $ ./mysql -h Usage: mysql [OPTIONS] --host Connect to host [Default: INI mysqli.default_host] --port Port number [Default: INI mysqli.default_port] --username User for login [Default: INI mysqli.default_user] --password Password to use [Default: INI mysqli.default_pw] --database Database to use [Default: empty] --socket The socket file [Default: INI mysqli.default_socket] $ printf "CREATE DATABASE foobar;\nSHOW DATABASES;" | ./mysql information_schema foobar mysql performance_schema sys $ ./mysql --database foobar < foobar_huge_dump.sql ``` ### From PHP [](#from-php) ``` $mysql = new \SlamMysql\Mysql('localhost', 'root', 'pwd', 'my_database', 3306, '/socket'); $return = $mysql->run(\STDIN, \STDOUT, \STDERR); exit((int) (true !== $return)); ``` `\SlamMysql\Mysql::run` accepts any type of resource consumable by `fgets/fwrite` functions.
