Exporting the project

[Brian McMahon]

My team is using a mysql database for our project. How would we export
that database with the project so you wouldn't have to make the
database manually before you try to run it.

[Eric Wohlstadter]

You can use this command for mysql from a console window (e.g. cmd in Windows).

mysqldump --opt --user=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD DATABASE_NAME > db.sql

I typed that in the window command line and it didn't work. Also, how would I make it so that when the marker imports the project the database gets made if it isn't already? I have a function to make it but it requires having the mysql server installed on the computer and knowing the username and password of the server. should I just make a note to change the username and password in the create function when the marker imports the project?

[Eric Wohlstadter]

You might need to add the mysql executables to your PATH environment variable:
on Windows: Control Panels->System->Advanced System
Settings->Environment Variables...

For example, on my machine, the mysql executables are at C:\Program
Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin

Yeah, that would be fine.
