MySQL Databases
Hello all again,
How do you guys backup your MySQL databases?
I have a few programs that have an default back up that make an .sql file which is great but I also use OpenX which runs on PHP and has a database. That does not have an auto-back-up feature so do I just download the database and that's it?
Any recommend for the tool?
Thanks

LEARN ABOUT PHP
mysql_create_db
MYSQL_CREATE_DB(3) 1 MYSQL_CREATE_DB(3)
mysql_create_db - Create a MySQL database
SYNOPSIS
Warning
This function was deprecated in PHP 4.3.0, and will be removed in the future, along with the entirety of the original MySQL exten-
sion. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more
information. Alternatives to this function include:
omysqli_query(3)
o PDO::query
bool mysql_create_db (string $database_name, [resource $link_identifier = NULL])
DESCRIPTION
mysql_create_db(3) attempts to create a new database on the server associated with the specified link identifier.
o $database_name
- The name of the database being created.
o $
link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is
assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example #1
mysql_create_db(3) alternative example
The function mysql_create_db(3) is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query(3) to issue an sql CREATE DATABASE statement
instead.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$sql = 'CREATE DATABASE my_db';
if (mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
echo "Database my_db created successfully
";
} else {
echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "
";
}
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Database my_db created successfully
Note
For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_createdb(3)
Note
This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library.
mysql_query(3), mysql_select_db(3).
