in reply to Dumping a Database via DBI
I know you said you don't want any command-line solutions,
but have you looked at mysqldump? It comes along with
mysql, and lets you do things like 'mysqldump <database>
<table> > outputfile'. The output of mysqldump is a set
of sql statements which will recreate all tables in the
database, and all things contained in the tables.. for a
more in-depth description, check out mysqldump --help. I
believe that most databases come with a dumper utility like
this, and the dumps work well between different SQL
databases. You can then recreate the contents of the
database by running 'mysql <database> < outputfile'.
I hope this fits what you want.
