ActiveRecordSqlExporter ======================= This plugin takes a record in your database and converts it into SQL statements that can be used to insert it. This was written after I had to restore some specific data for a user (a number of rows, across a number of tables.) It might be useful as a simple backup utility - for example, store the restoration sql after something gets removed. This moves down through relations along has_many, has_one relations, but will not move up along belongs_to relations. However, this doesn't make you any less likely to screw up and shoot yourself in the proverbial memory usage foot with a massive swath of data, so often you'll want to use the second argument to to_sql, which is an array of classes to ignore. Example ======= Obj.find( obj_id ).to_backup_sql For a blog_post, that belongs to a user, that might have many posts: Post.find( id ).to_backup_sql( {}, [User] ) Export an object to a file: Post.find( id ).to_backup_sql( {:file => a_file_object} ) Copyright (c) 2010 Adam Palmblad (adam.palmblad@teampages.com), released under the MIT license To Do ===== * Watch dependent => nullify and write restoration query * The generation the SQL that checks for the presence of a value is broken! * Add ability to toggle sql options, such as the ON DUPLICATE KEY stuff * Support for non MySQL databases
