Dump database data using Doctrine 2

Question

Is it possible to dump a database using doctrine 2? I have read that symfony has a library which extends doctrine to do it but How could I use it in my zendframework project

Answer 1

For a more generic doctrine way:

protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
{
    $conn = $this->getDoctrineConnection('default');

    $path = $input->getArgument('filepath');
    if (! is_dir(dirname($path))) {
        $fs = new Filesystem();
        $fs->mkdir(dirname($path));
    }

    $cmd = sprintf('mysqldump -u %s --password=%s %s %s > %s',
        $conn->getUsername(),
        $conn->getPassword(),
        $conn->getDatabase(),
        implode(' ', ['variables', 'config']),
        $path
    );

    exec($cmd, $output, $exit_status);
}
