Capistrano::MysqlTables

Capistrano MysqlTables allows for easy transfer of MySQL tables between development and production environments.

This plugin makes a couple of assumptions:

• The existence of a config/database.yml file, as is used in Ruby on Rails environments.
• That your production ssh user has their MySQL password setup in a ~/.my.cnf file as shown below. This is for security reasons, we don't want to pull the password out of the database.yml file and print to the command line.

[client]
password="your-super-cool-password"

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-mysql_tables'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-mysql_tables

Then add to your Capfile with:

require "capistrano/mysql_tables"

The plugin provides two self-explanatory tasks, db:push_tables and db:pull_tables.

Run a task without any arguments, eg. cap production db:push_tables, and you'll be asked to provide one or more table names to move. Or you can provide the table names directly: cap production "db:push_tables[table1 table2]".
