Description 

Author

Richard Munroe

This class can be used to provide a backup and restore solution of SQL databases that can work with multiple database types.

It uses another database abstraction package to query the database table structure.

It extracts the data in the tables to generate a database backup file that contains in a list of SQL statements.

The restore process just reads the statements from the backup file and executes them.

The class can generate backups of the database with the whole data or just the database table structure.

This class is officially PHP 5 compatible.

Winner

Prize: One copy of the Maguma Workbench		 Performing regular backups of vital information is a wise step that all systems administrators should take.

Databases are often the most important vital information container that Web sites must take regular backups.

There have been many backup solutions for PHP sites, but most of them support only MySQL.

This class provides a generic solution that can backup and restore SQL databases managed by several different RDBMS including MySQL and others. It uses a database abstraction layer to access the database to take backup independently of the RDBMS in use.
