NAME

sqlt-dumper - create a dumper script from a schema

SYNOPSIS

  sqlt-dumper -d Oracle [options] schema.sql > dumper.pl

  ./dumper.pl > data.sql

  Options:

    -h|--help       Show help and exit
    --add-truncate  Add "TRUNCATE TABLE" statements for each table
    --skip=t1[,t2]  Skip tables in comma-separated list
    -u|--user       Database username
    -p|--password   Database password
    --dsn           DSN for DBI

DESCRIPTION

This script uses SQL::Translator to parse the SQL schema and create a Perl script that can connect to the database and dump the data as INSERT statements a la mysqldump. If you enable "add-truncate" or specify tables to "skip," then the generated dumper script will have those hardcoded. However, these will also be options in the generated dumper, so you can wait to specify these options when you dump your database. The database username, password, and DSN can be hardcoded into the generated script, or part of the DSN can be intuited from the "database" argument.
