The class can be used to create backup files of MySQL databases in the form of lists of SQL statements that can be executed to restore the database.
This is a new version of a class originally written by Vagharshak Tozalakyan to use much less memory.
It can store the backup data in compressed or uncompressed files directly, instead of concatenating the whole data in a text string, thus avoiding to use too much memory when taking backups of large databases.
It can also return the backup data as a single uncompressed string, but this way it may exceed the PHP memory limit. |
