Question

Is there any integrated solution for this?

Would it work if I create a folder called mysql and dump sql there every time I do major changes?

Subversion is perfect but how do you deal with db part? Can someone please explain their workflow.

Thanks!

I’m using simple batch files to export/import any changes to/from DB.
Just created additional folder _db with following files:

import.bat:

if exist c:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe goto work1

exit

:work1
C:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -u root --default-character-set=utf8<C:\project\_db\dbName_dc.sql
C:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -u root -D dbName --default-character-set=utf8<C:\project\_db\dbName.sql
pause
exit

export.bat

if exist c:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe goto work1

exit

:work1
C:\mysql\bin\mysqldump.exe -u root --default-character-set=utf8 dbName>C:\project\_db\dbName.sql
C:\mysql\bin\mysqldump.exe -u root -d --default-character-set=utf8 dbName>C:\project\_db\dbName_struct.sql
pause
exit

dbName_dc.sql

/*!40014 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0 */;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `dbName`;
CREATE DATABASE `dbName`;
/*!40014 SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS */;

It’s not a problem to write similar files for unix like systems.
