Description Author

This class provides a way to synchronize the schema of one or more databases from the schema of a master database.

Currently, the class only synchronizes the database schema, not data in the database tables.

For now it supports MySQL databases but the schema manipulation functions are implemented in a separate driver class. Therefore, support for other types of databases can be implemented by writing new driver classes.

Sometimes it is necessary to alter the schema of a database to introduce new features or change the current features of an application.

Usually the new or changed application features are tested first in a development environment.

When the new developments are ready to go in production, it is necessary to update the schema of the database in production to have the same structure of the database in the development environment.

This class provides a solution for this problem by comparing the schemas of the database in the development and production environments and performing the necessary alterations to synchronize the schemas.

'------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

The public methods available under DBSync class are:

	# SetHomeDatabase()

	    Parameters:

	    	$database
		    $type (default = 'mysql')
		    $host (default = 'localhost')
		    $user (default = 'root')
		    $pass (default = '')

	    Set the Home Database settings. These are the settings of the database
        that has it's structure correct and all other should guide thru.


	# AddSyncDatabase()

	    Parameters:

		    $database
		    $type (default = 'mysql')
		    $host (default = 'localhost')
		    $user (default = 'root')
		    $pass (default = '')

    	Add a Sync Database. This function is used to add databases that will
        be synched with the Home Database.


	# Sync()

    	Synchronise all the Sync Databases with the Home Database.


A simple script to synchronise a database db1 with db2 on your localhost mysql
server could be as simple as this:

<?php
	include 'class.dbsync.php';

    $dbsync = new DBSync();
    $dbsync->SetHomeDatabase('db1');
    $dbsync->AddSyncDatabase('db2');
    $dbsync->Sync();
?>

This is as simple as this because of default parameters. They assume your local
database server is at the localhost on a mysql server width user root and with
no password.
If you want you can create diferente database drivers for MSSQL and others by
creating the class and naming it like class.<type>.dbsync.php. This way, when
you try to sync a database and chose <type> as the type of the database, the
DBSync class will try and load the correct file and make the sync. Be aware you
cannot change the names of the methods, they must be exactly the same as in
class.mysql.dbsync.php and should do obviously the same thing.
