= capistrano-mysqldump

Capistrano extension to run mysqldump remotely, download, and import into your local Rails development database.

WARNING: This will blow away your development database (duh)

== Installation

gem install capistrano-mysqldump

== Usage

* In your deploy file:

require 'capistrano/mysqldump'

* Run:

cap mysqldump

Or if you're using capistrano-ext/multistage, do

cap production mysqldump

Or whatever environment you want to take the mysqldump from

== Configuration

Override these defaults in deploy.rb if necessary

* Location of the mysqldump binary
set :mysqldump_bin, "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump"

* Where on the remote machine to dump the sql dump file
set :mysqldump_remote_tmp_dir, "/tmp"

* Where on the local machine to download the sql dump file from the remote machine
set :mysqldump_local_tmp_dir, "/tmp"

* Where to run the mysqldump command.  If set to :local, mysqldump will use the -h parameter and run the dump locally.  The default is set to :local if a host is specified, otherwise it is set to :remote
set :mysqldump_location, :local

* Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
