Feature Request: Export SqlDump #205

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Adding an ability to export the project as a SQL dump file[1], possibly in 
MySQL's format, would be beneficial.

Can this be supported by a template in the templating exporter? I'd imagine 
beside the default json template, we can also generate a wikitext template, and 
perhaps this sql dump file.

Should be able to handle with templating exporter.  It will just be a text file 
anyway with a single CREATE statement for the table (per project?).  If folks 
need more than that, then they just use their database's restore options or 
other converter programs on the basic .sql text file generated.

2 options that I could see useful for folks:
1. Supporting COMMENTS statement
2. A checkbox option to include exporting the data & schema or just the schema 
(for testing)

If GR can connect and write to a SQL database by using a JDBC bridge, it 
wouldn't be necessary to dump the results as a SQL file.
