Console tool

The console tools works in a slightly different way and involves some more configuration work. Here are the basic steps that will allow you to work with your database.

Firstly, create a file with configuration data, let's call it "mydatabase.conf". This is a java property file and it should look like this:

connector=net.sourceforge.jdbdump.connect.connectors.MysqlConnector
url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/cpe
login=mylogin
password=...
compression=gzip

If you have it you are almost ready. Open you terminal and write down the following command:

~$ java -classpath <path_to_jdbdump> net.sourceforge.jdbdump.connect.TestDump dump testdump.gz mydatabase.conf

The program takes three parameters:

• tha action -"dump", "restore" or "print"
• the name of the backup file
• the name of the configuration file
