A PHP library providing a fluent API to dump database contents to files using native tools like mysqldump, pg_dump, sqlite3, and mongodump. It supports MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MongoDB and is used by spatie's laravel-backup package.
Use cases
- dump a mysql database to a sql file from php
- create postgresql backups programmatically
- back up sqlite and mongodb databases in php
- generate database dumps for a laravel backup system
- compress database dumps with gzip or bzip2
When to choose
- you need to create database dumps from PHP code with a simple fluent API
- you want a lightweight wrapper around native dump binaries rather than reimplementing dump logic
- you are building a backup system, especially with spatie/laravel-backup
When to avoid
- you need pure-PHP dumping without native binaries like mysqldump installed
- you need a full backup solution with scheduling and notifications rather than just dumping
- you use databases outside MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or MongoDB
