2.Also to take a backup of DB using c# code
My application is an standalone application and using vs2010.
This what I have tried so far.Not able to identify what error is thrown.any suggestions would be of help.Any help on this will be of great help
enter code here
int year = Time.Year;
int month = Time.Month;
int day = Time.Day;
int hour = Time.Hour;
int minute = Time.Minute;
int second = Time.Second;
int millisecond = Time.Millisecond;
//Save file to C:\ with the current date as a filename
string path;
path = "D:\\yourfoldername" + year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "-" + hour + "-" + minute + "-" + second + "-" + millisecond + ".sql";
StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(path);
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "mysqldump";
psi.RedirectStandardInput = false;
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
psi.Arguments = string.Format(@"-u{0} -p{1} -h{2} {3}", "root", "", "localhost", "database");
psi.UseShellExecute = false;
Process process = Process.Start(psi);
string output;
output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
file.WriteLine(output);
process.WaitForExit();
file.Close();
process.Close();

If it's an entire DB, then:
$ mysqldump -u [uname] -p[pass] db_name > db_backup.sql
If it's all DBs, then:
$ mysqldump -u [uname] -p[pass] --all-databases > all_db_backup.sql
If it's specific tables within a DB, then:
$ mysqldump -u [uname] -p[pass] db_name table1 table2 > table_backup.sql
You can even go as far as auto-compressing the output using gzip (if your DB is very big):
$ mysqldump -u [uname] -p[pass] db_name | gzip > db_backup.sql.gz
If you want to do this remotely and you have the access to the server in question, then the following would work (presuming the MySQL server is on port 3306):
$ mysqldump -P 3306 -h [ip_address] -u [uname] -p[pass] db_name > db_backup.sql
To IMPORT:
ype the following command to import sql data file:
$ mysql -u username -p -h localhost DATA-BASE-NAME < data.sql
In this example, import 'data.sql' file into 'blog' database using vivek as username:
$ mysql -u sat -p -h localhost blog < data.sql
If you have a dedicated database server, replace localhost hostname with with actual server name or IP address as follows:
$ mysql -u username -p -h 202.54.1.10 databasename < data.sql
OR use hostname such as mysql.cyberciti.biz
$ mysql -u username -p -h mysql.cyberciti.biz database-name < data.sql
If you do not know the database name or database name is included in sql dump you can try out something as follows:
$ mysql -u username -p -h 202.54.1.10 < data.sql
Backing up Database in MySQL using C#
Backup a MySQL database
private void Backup()
{
string constring = "server=localhost;user=root;pwd=qwerty;database=test;";
string file = "C:\\backup.sql";
using (MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(constring))
{
using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand())
{
using (MySqlBackup mb = new MySqlBackup(cmd))
{
cmd.Connection = conn;
conn.Open();
mb.ExportToFile(file);
conn.Close();
}
}
}
}
Restore a MySQL database
private void Restore()
{
string constring = "server=localhost;user=root;pwd=qwerty;database=test;";
string file = "C:\\backup.sql";
using (MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(constring))
{
using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand())
{
using (MySqlBackup mb = new MySqlBackup(cmd))
{
cmd.Connection = conn;
conn.Open();
mb.ImportFromFile(file);
conn.Close();
}
}
}
}
