Further development

There are still a lot ideas that may be implemented in the future versions of jdbdump. We are aware of the fact, that some parts of the application are not 100% safe and handy. That is why we have prepared a ,,wishlist'' for further development. Here it goes:

• encrypted dump file
• possibility to automatically send dump file via SSH or SFTP to any defined location
• support other database elements such as stored procedures or triggers
• support less commonly used table data types and options which may appear in table definition
• add a few more connectors for other database engines like Oracle, MS SQL server
• use JNDI data sources to connect to databases
• add more file formats like plain text (currently, only binary/serialized file format is available)
• protect against the special situations described earlier in the paragraph named ,,Naughty tests'' (see 11.3.4.3)
• test Jdbdump in environments other than Tomcat
• improve performance
