README

The "missing" database toolset for Laravel. A set of commonly used Database Tools for Laravel.

With this package you can:

  • Create a database (if it does not exist)
  • Dump from another database to file
  • Get and unzip from a database backup created by the Spatie Backup package
  • Import from file
  • Update the charset and collation
  • Fixes the "no such function" error by giving SQLite MySQL compatibility by creating the missing function using PDO for SQLite using PHP functions.
  • Uses MySQL commands to optimize database tables (using OPTIMIZE TABLE)

Install

Install the package into your Laravel application:

  • composer require --dev jpswade/laravel-database-tools

Note: It's wise to only install these tools in development by default, as it's rare you should need them in a production environment.

Configure

Publish and customise your own dbtools.php file:

  • php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jpswade\LaravelDatabaseTools\ServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This allows you to set the source database and/or filesystem for the backup.

  • dbtools.database - Define the source database for the db:dump command, similar to Laravel databases config.
  • dbtools.filesystem - Define the source filesystem for the db:getFromBackup command, similar to Laravel filesystems config.
  • dbtools.filesystem.path - Define the path for the db:getFromBackup command.
  • dbtools.import - Here you can define the method (command or normal) for the db:importFromFile command.

Note:

  • The db:getFromBackup command falls back to the spatie/laravel-backup package for configuration.

Usage

The commands are:

  • db:create - Creates the database schema.
  • db:dump - Fetch a copy of the latest database from the configured server.
  • db:getFromBackup - Download database backup file from backup.
  • db:importFromFile {file?} - Import data from a sql file into a database.
  • db:charset - Changes the charset and collation to whatever the database is set to use.
  • db:optimize - Optimizes your database tables.

SQLite MySQL Compatability Provider

For testing you can add the provider to your Test:

    protected function registerServiceProviders(): void
    {
        $this->app->register(SqliteMysqlCompatibilityProvider::class);
    }

    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();

        $this->registerServiceProviders();
    }

In production, follow the usual Registering Providers instructions:

In config/app.php, find the providers array and add:

'providers' => [
    // Other Service Providers
 
    Jpswade\LaravelDatabaseTools\SqliteMysqlCompatibilityProvider::class,
],

Limitations

These are limitations you'll come across if you use certain commands:

  • The db:getFromBackup command relies on the league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 "^1.0" package, when you use the Amazon S3 Driver as per the Laravel docs.
  • The db:dump command depends on spatie/db-dumper.
  • The commands have only been tested to work with MySQL at the moment, but could be extended to others.
  • The db:importFromFile command can only import .sql files.
  • The db:optimize command only works with MySQL (at the moment).

Troubleshooting

Class 'League\Flysystem\AwsS3v3\AwsS3Adapter' not found

% composer require league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3:~1.0

Note: Needed for db:getFromBackup command to use the S3 Driver.

Class 'Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql' not found

% composer require spatie/db-dumper

Note: Needed by the db:dump command.
