WARNING: MySQL versions 5.0 and above feature the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
 | 
						|
pseudo-database which contains always up-to-date metadata information
 | 
						|
about all tables. So instead of using this script one can now
 | 
						|
simply query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES,
 | 
						|
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS pseudo-tables.

mysql_tableinfo - creates and populates information tables with 
 | 
						|
the output of SHOW DATABASES, SHOW TABLES (or SHOW TABLE STATUS), 
 | 
						|
SHOW COLUMNS and SHOW INDEX.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is version 1.1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
  mysql_tableinfo [OPTIONS] database_to_write [database_like_wild] [table_like_wild]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Do not backquote (``) database_to_write, 
 | 
						|
  and do not quote ('') database_like_wild or table_like_wild
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Examples:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  mysql_tableinfo info
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  mysql_tableinfo info this_db
 | 
						|
 |

  mysql_tableinfo info %a% b%
 |

=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
mysql_tableinfo asks a MySQL server information about its
 | 
						|
databases, tables, table columns and index, and stores this
 | 
						|
in tables called `db`, `tbl` (or `tbl_status`), `col`, `idx` 
 | 
						|
(with an optional prefix specified with --prefix).
 | 
						|
After that, you can query these information tables, for example
 | 
						|
to build your admin scripts with SQL queries, like
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SELECT CONCAT("CHECK TABLE ",`database`,".",`table`," EXTENDED;") 
 | 
						|
FROM info.tbl WHERE ... ;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
as people usually do with some other RDBMS
 | 
						|
(note: to increase the speed of your queries on the info tables,
 | 
						|
you may add some index on them).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The database_like_wild and table_like_wild instructs the program
 | 
						|
to gather information only about databases and tables
 | 
						|
whose names match these patterns. If the info
 | 
						|
tables already exist, their rows matching the patterns are simply
 | 
						|
deleted and replaced by the new ones. That is,
 | 
						|
old rows not matching the patterns are not touched.
 | 
						|
If the database_like_wild and table_like_wild arguments
 | 
						|
are not specified on the command-line they default to "%".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The program :
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- does CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write
 | 
						|
where database_to_write is the database name specified on the command-line.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`db`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- fills database_to_write.`db` with the output of
 | 
						|
SHOW DATABASES LIKE database_like_wild
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`tbl`
 | 
						|
(respectively database_to_write.`tbl_status`
 | 
						|
if the --tbl-status option is on)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- for every found database,
 | 
						|
fills database_to_write.`tbl` (respectively database_to_write.`tbl_status`)
 | 
						|
with the output of 
 | 
						|
SHOW TABLES FROM found_db LIKE table_like_wild
 | 
						|
(respectively SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM found_db LIKE table_like_wild)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- if the --col option is on,
 | 
						|
    * does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`col`
 | 
						|
    * for every found table,
 | 
						|
      fills database_to_write.`col` with the output of 
 | 
						|
      SHOW COLUMNS FROM found_tbl FROM found_db
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- if the --idx option is on,
 | 
						|
    * does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`idx`
 | 
						|
    * for every found table,
 | 
						|
      fills database_to_write.`idx` with the output of 
 | 
						|
      SHOW INDEX FROM found_tbl FROM found_db
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some options may modify this general scheme (see below).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As mentioned, the contents of the info tables are the output of
 | 
						|
SHOW commands. In fact the contents are slightly more complete :
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- the `tbl` (or `tbl_status`) info table 
 | 
						|
  has an extra column which contains the database name,
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- the `col` info table
 | 
						|
  has an extra column which contains the table name,
 | 
						|
  and an extra column which contains, for each described column,
 | 
						|
  the number of this column in the table owning it (this extra column
 | 
						|
  is called `Seq_in_table`). `Seq_in_table` makes it possible for you
 | 
						|
  to retrieve your columns in sorted order, when you are querying
 | 
						|
  the `col` table. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- the `index` info table
 | 
						|
  has an extra column which contains the database name.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Caution: info tables contain certain columns (e.g.
 | 
						|
Database, Table, Null...) whose names, as they are MySQL reserved words,
 | 
						|
need to be backquoted (`...`) when used in SQL statements.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Caution: as information fetching and info tables filling happen at the
 | 
						|
same time, info tables may contain inaccurate information about
 | 
						|
themselves.

=head1 OPTIONS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over 4
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item --clear
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Does DROP TABLE on the info tables (only those that the program is
 | 
						|
going to fill, for example if you do not use --col it won't drop
 | 
						|
the `col` table) and processes normally. Does not drop database_to_write.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item --clear-only
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Same as --clear but exits after the DROPs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item --col
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Adds columns information (into table `col`).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item --idx
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Adds index information (into table `idx`).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item --prefix prefix
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The info tables are named from the concatenation of prefix and,
 | 
						|
respectively, db, tbl (or tbl_status), col, idx. Do not quote ('')
 | 
						|
or backquote (``) prefix.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item -q, --quiet
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Does not warn you about what the script is going to do (DROP TABLE etc)
 | 
						|
and does not ask for a confirmation before starting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item --tbl-status
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Instead of using SHOW TABLES, uses SHOW TABLE STATUS
 | 
						|
(much more complete information, but slower). 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item --help
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Display helpscreen and exit
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item -u, --user=#         
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
user for database login if not current user. Give a user
 | 
						|
who has sufficient privileges (CREATE, ...).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item -p, --password=#     
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
password to use when connecting to server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item -h, --host=#     
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
host to connect to
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item -P, --port=#         
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
port to use when connecting to server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item -S, --socket=#         
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
UNIX domain socket to use when connecting to server
