The title is the question really. I have one table I need to copy and replace in another database. I'm sure I can just use pg_dump, but wondered if this tool can do it for me.
It appears that it doesn't have this facility, however, looking at the code, it is largely a wrapper for pg_dump, so I can solve this by using pg_dump functions.
This line is in the cookie cutter code :
pg_dump | gzip > "${BACKUP_DIR_PATH}/${backup_filename}"

Want a syntax where I can give my DB2 details like server name,user name,password and sql file which want to execute using batch file.
I found syntax like sqlplus,sqlcmd for oracle and sql server respectively but no luck for 'DB2'.
Pls help me in it.
Note that this is about DB2 on the IBM i platform (see comments).
For Windows, from a command prompt, type db2cmd, then from there run e.g. db2 connect to YOUR_DATABASE user YOUR_USER_ID then e.g. db2 -tf filename.sql

IBM i Access Client Solutions (which I assume you have available to you, this part of its functionality being free of charge) has a command line option for this, e.g.
java -jar acsbundle.jar /SYSTEM=MYAS400 /PLUGIN=rss /file=\mysqlscript.sql /autorun=1
See ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/clientaccess/solutions/GettingStarted_en.html for more information (specifically section 9.1.31).
I think, this might help somebody in future, who is looking for solution,Just make sure you have Db2 Client installed & add following snippet in your batch file.
SET DB2CLP=DB20FADE
runas /noprofile /user:db2admin "db2cmd -c db2 create database MyDatabase && db2 connect to MyDatabase && db2 -tvmf db2_create_tables.sql"
I too faced many issues but after some research i came up with this solution, i hope it will help you/someone.
Well, I guess you didn't really search.
Db2 has several command line interfaces that can be and are used for batch processing. Clpplus even offers Oracle-like syntax support and compatibility. There is even a tool named db2batch that allows to process statements with lots of options.
First forgive me for my English. It is a little bad. Second forgive my ignorance, i'm newiest in postgres
I'm having trouble when I try to up a backup database on another database. I need to dump the database just to get one table, but I only have the files that was in /var/lib/pgsql/data/base/
Here what I try:
I create a database named "test" with OID 227763 so I put the files of the old database to this new database with another OID. I fix the folder and files permissions, but when I log into "test" and run select * from pg_tables; the tables does not appears to me. And when I try to create the table on PhpPgAdmin, I got
ERROR: relation already exists
I'm trying to do this because I need to know which of this files is the table that i want. I will log into database and run SELECT oid,* from pg_class; to get the OID.
I found the old OID database in /var/lib/pgsql/data/global/pg_database
If anyone can help me, I thank you.
There are many ways to backup and restore an entire database or a single table. It sounds like you need to be using pgDump instead of working on individual files. A file level copy is likely to corrupt your database if not in backup mode and if not copying the entire thing + archive logs.
If you MUST copy it by files, make sure the database is shut down for maximum safety.
For me, if I had one table to backup, I'd use pg_dump
pg_dump -U {user-name} {source_db} -f {dumpfilename.sql}
you can use the -t flag to list a single table if you like.
i have a sqlite database created from the honeypot. the database contains malware files. how can i extract these files from the sqlite database. please if someone can help
You can dump the whole database with:
echo .dump | sqlite3 database.sqlite > database.dump
Or just view the structure with:
echo .schema | sqlite3 database.sqlite
To get the files, you'll probably need a small script to extract the BLOBs into files. Post the schema of the database if you need help.
The sqlite3 command can easily interrogate an sqlite3 database and the .dump command will allow you to dump a given table, and the .output command will let you select a filename for the output before dumping.
If the data came from a honeypot, be very careful about the tools you use to inspect the contents: flaws have been found in terminals that allow malicious content to gain privileges on the system. Simply using 'cat' to inspect a file on such a terminal could grant the malicious program your complete set of privileges.
So, at a minimum step, please at least use an unprivileged user account with no access to other data on the system. Using a tool such as AppArmor, SMACK, TOMOYO, SELinux, LIDS, to confine your tools to a small subset of system resources would be a good idea too. Virtualization could also work, but there have been plenty of 'breakouts' from those tools as well.
I use a Wordpress plugin called 'Shopp'. It stores product images in the database rather than the filesystem as standard, I didn't think anything of this until now.
I have to move server, and so I made a backup, but restoring the backup is proving a horrible task. I need to restore one table called wp_shopp_assets which is 18MB.
Any advice is hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Henry.
For large operations like this it is better to go to command line. phpMyAdmin gets tricky when lots of data is involved because there are all sorts of timeouts in PHP that can trip it up.
If you can SSH into both servers, then you can do a sequence like the following:
Log in to server1 (your current server) and dump the table to a file using "mysqldump" --- mysqldump --add-drop-table -uSQLUSER -pPASSWORD -h
SQLSERVERDOMAIN DBNAME TABLENAME > BACKUPFILE
Do a secure copy of that file from server1 to server2 using "scp" ---
scp BACKUPFILE USER#SERVER2DOMAIN:FOLDERNAME
Log out of server 1
Log into server 2 (your new server) and import that file into the new DB using "mysql" --- mysql -uSQLUSER -pPASSWORD DBNAME < BACKUPFILE
You will need to replace the UPPERCASE text with your own info. Just ask in the comments if you don't know where to find any of these.
It is worthwhile getting to know some of these command line tricks if you will be doing this sort of admin from time to time.
try HeidiSQL http://www.heidisql.com/
connect to your server and choose the database
go to menu "import > Load sql file" or simply paste the sql file into the sql tab
execute sql (F9)
HeidiSQL is an easy-to-use interface
and a "working-horse" for
web-developers using the popular
MySQL-Database. It allows you to
manage and browse your databases and
tables from an intuitive Windows®
interface.
EDIT: Just to clarify. This is a desktop application, you will connect to your database server remotely. You won't be limited to php script max runtime, or upload size limit.
use bigdupm.
create a folder on your server witch is not easy to guess like "BigDump_D09ssS" or w.e
Download the http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php importer file and add them to that directory after reading the instructions and filling out your config information.
FTP The .SQL File to that folder along side the bigdump script and go to your browser and navigate to that folder.
Selecting the file you uploaded will start importing the SQL is split chunks and would be a much faster method!
Or if this is an issue i reccomend the other comment about SSH And mysql -u -p -n -f method!
Even though this is an old post I would like to add that it is recommended to not use database-storage for images when you have more than like 10 product(image)s.
Instead of exporting and importing such a huge file it would be better to transfer the Shopp installation to file-storage for images before transferring.
You can use this free plug-in to help you. Always backup your files and database before performing this action.
What I do is open the file in a code editor, copy and paste into a SQL window within phpmyadmin. Sounds silly, but I swear by it via large files.
I'm looking for a command line tool to generate DDL for both tables and indexes (nothing more complicated is needed) for some Sybase tables in databases that I take care of. I have access to GUI tools for viewing the individual DDLs, and I could cut and paste them, but I would like something that will go through all the tables in a database and generate some nice text files that I can get checked into CVS.
I tried using a tool called ddlgen, which was provided by Sybase, but it just threw exceptions like this:
bash-3.00# ./ddlgen -SdatabaseServer:4100 -Uusername -PsecretPassword -TDB -NdatabaseName
U64: null: databaseName.dbo.firstTable
U64: null: databaseName.dbo.firstTable
at com.sybase.ddlgen.container.UserTableContainer.getDependentDDL(UserTableContainer.java:1065)
at com.sybase.ddlgen.container.UserTableContainer.open(UserTableContainer.java:1364)
at com.sybase.ddlgen.container.UserTableMetaContainer.open(UserTableMetaContainer.java:94)
at com.sybase.ddlgen.container.DDLBaseContainer.load(DDLBaseContainer.java:76)
at com.sybase.ddlgen.container.DatabaseContainer.addChildren(DatabaseContainer.java:552)
at com.sybase.ddlgen.container.DatabaseContainer.open(DatabaseContainer.java:104)
at com.sybase.ddlgen.container.DatabaseMetaContainer.open(DatabaseMetaContainer.java:114)
at com.sybase.ddlgen.DDLThread.run(DDLThread.java:89)
which wasn't very helpful. I keep thinking that there must be a nice Perlish way to do this, but I don't know what that would be.
You can also use the Perl-based dbschema.pl
http://www.isug.com/Sybase_FAQ/ASE/section9.html#9.3.2
use below command to get deffination
defncopy -P tester1 -S sqppdb2 -U pmestr -D ppdb2 -o tab4 ppdb2..tab4
Thanks
Download an evaluation version of Embarcadero DBArtisan and use its extract feature to get the DDL out.
You can turn Logging on in DBArtisan (Logfile ->Log SQL) and then see what SQL it's sending to Sybase to get the table DDL. Copy and paste the SQL in the logfile to a script that you run from the command line and that might work.
Apologies in advance if you are not using Windows...DBArtisan is Windows-only.
Another way of doing this is MyGeneration a code generator (like CodeSmith but open source) which uses templates to create code. That code could be anything you like - Sql, C# etc. I use Sql Server and I've used some of the freely available templates to create DDL as you specify, and automagically create NHibernate Mapping files too - brilliant.
ddlgen will give you what you require and works very well. You seem to be having an enviroment issue with Java. Try again and post the error that you have in it's entirety.
