Use in Ruby

Ruby classes

Mysqlexport::Csv.new(options) # create csv object
Mysqlexport::Json.new(options) # create json object

Methods Suported

to_stdout  # write it directly to $stdout
to_path(String)  # write it to a file at this path
to_file(File)  # write it to a file handle

Usage

require 'mysqlexport'
options = {
  username: "root",
  password: "root",
  database: "mysqlexport_test",
  execute: "select * from employees"
}
Mysqlexport::Csv.new(options).to_stdout
Mysqlexport::Csv.new(options).to_path('/tmp/table.csv')
Mysqlexport::Json.new(options).to_file(File.open('/tmp/table.json', 'w'))

All available options

General options

  host: "127.0.0.1", # optional, default is 127.0.0.1
  port: "3306", # optional, default is 3306
  username: "root", # optional if using Active record
  password: "root", # optional if using Active record
  database: "mysqlexport_test", # optional if using Active record
  socket: "/path/to/mysql.sock", # optional
  execute: "select * from employees", # not required if table is given
  table: "employees" # not required if execute query is given

csv options (only works with `Mysqlexport::Csv` class)

  force_quotes: true, # optional, default is false
  col_sep: ",", # optional, default is ','
  row_sep: "", # optional, default is '\n'
  output_path: "/tmp/employees.csv" # optional, default is current directory

json options (only works with `Mysqlexport::Json` class)

  pretty: false # display json pretty, default is false

More Uses

ActiveRecord Support

If you're running it inside a Rails application, it will default to the ActiveRecord connection configurations.

csv = Mysqlexport::Csv.new execute: "select * from employees" # no need to specify username, password or database
csv.to_stdout

json = Mysqlexport::Json.new table: "employees" # no need to specify username, password or database
json.to_stdout

to_path method/out option

Supports both relative and absolute path

ruby

Mysqlexport::Csv.new(options).to_path('/tmp/table.csv') # this will create a file with name table.csv at given path
Mysqlexport::Csv.new(options).to_path('table.csv') # this will create file with name table.csv at current directory

binary

create a file with name table.csv at given path

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --table=employees --to=csv --out=/tmp/table.csv

create file with name table.csv at current directory

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --table=employees --to=csv --out=table.csv

When directory is given in path. It will create a file inside the directory.

ruby

Mysqlexport::Csv.new(options).to_path('/tmp/mydir') # this will create a file inside mydir
Mysqlexport::Csv.new(options).to_path # this will create a file in the current directory

binary

create a file inside a directory

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --table=employees --to=csv --out=/tmp/mydir

create a file in current directory

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --table=employees --to=csv

What would be the file name in above cases? It takes file name from table option. If table option is not provided it will generate a file with current timestamp.

ruby

Mysqlexport::Json.new({ table: "employees" }).to_path('/tmp/mydir') # this will create a file with name employees.json
Mysqlexport::Json.new({ execute: "select * from employees" }).to_path('/tmp/mydir') # this will create a file with current timestamp.
Mysqlexport::Json.new({
    table: "employees",
    execute: "select * from employees limit 2"
}).to_path('/tmp/mydir') # this will create a file with name employees.json

binary

Create a file with name employees.json

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --table=employees --to=json --out=/tmp/mydir

This will create a file with current timestamp

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --execute="select * from employees" --to=json --out=/tmp/mydir

This will create a file with name employees.json

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --table=emplyees --execute="select * from employees" --to=json --out=/tmp/mydir

Json Engine

It uses multi_json to convert to json.

Supported JSON Engines

Oj Optimized JSON by Peter Ohler
Yajl Yet Another JSON Library by Brian Lopez
JSON The default JSON gem with C-extensions (ships with Ruby 1.9+)
JSON Pure A Ruby variant of the JSON gem
NSJSONSerialization Wrapper for Apple's NSJSONSerialization in the Cocoa Framework (MacRuby only)
gson.rb A Ruby wrapper for google-gson library (JRuby only)
JrJackson JRuby wrapper for Jackson (JRuby only)
OkJson A simple, vendorable JSON parser

Usecase

ruby

In case of ruby classes to use a json engine, it should be already loaded.

require 'mysqlexport'
require 'oj'
Mysqlexport::Json.new(options).to_stdout

binary

In case of the binary, it will try to load the specified json engine in the option json_engine. Make sure you have the json engine already installed in order to use it. If it is unable to load json engine it will default to OkJson.

$ mysqlexport --user=root --password=root --database=mysqlexport_test --table=employees --to=json --json-engine=oj

Development

Configurations

Go to spec/configuration.yml, then set the mysql configurations and test database. see example configuration below.

host: localhost
username: root
password: 
database: mysqlexport_test

Unit Tests and Rubocop

Use bundle install to install the necessary development & testing then bundle exec rake for running both unit_tests and rubocop. Database named mysqlexport_test and table named unit_tests with some data will automatically be created.

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake

Other rake tasks

bundle exec rake unit_tests to run only unit tests bundle exec rake rubocop to run only rubocop

Benchmarks

Running benchmarks

$ bundle exec rake benchmark:all:run

It will insert 1 million rows in mysql and runs the benchmark on it. Database named mysqlexport_test and table named employees will automatically be created.
