MySQLDiff Tool
@author Nabeel Shahzad <https://github.com/nshahzad/MySQLDiff>

===================
About:
===================

This command line tool can be used to generate diffs between a MySQL XML dump
file, and a database which currently exists. It will tell you the missing 
tables and columns (return as an array), or generate MySQL queries to add the
missing columns in.

It can also pretty reliably create complete databases based on the XML dump file,
with indexes. 

Still a bit of a work-in-progress, please report bugs at the github site

===================
Usage:
===================

Generate a MySQL Dump file:

mysqldump --xml --no-data testuser -utestuser -ptest1 > structure.xml

Then call the command line script (diffgen):

    diffgen -utestuser -ptest1 -dtestuser -hlocalhost -fstructure.xml -tshow
 
    -u  Database User
    -p  Database Password
    -d  Database Name
    -h  Database Host
    -f  Dump File Path
    -t  "show" or "run" - show will output the SQL, "run" will run the SQL
    
There's also a class file (which it is all from), which you can use to
integrate into your own custom scripts (as-is the case with phpVMS, which
is distributed with the structure.xml, and it "shapes" the database on the
remote server properly).

Class Usage:
===================

    $params = array(
        'dbuser' => 'testuser',
        'dbpass' => 'test1',
        'dbname' => 'testuser',
        'dbhost' => 'localhost',
        'dumpxml' => 'structure.xml',
    );
    
    try {
        $diff = new MySQLDiff($params);    
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage(); exit;
    }
    
    # This returns an array of what's missing in the database
    try {
        $diff_lines = $diff->getDiffs();
        var_dump($diff_lines);
     catch(Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage(); exit;
    }
    
    # This returns SQL queries which can be run to fix the database
    try {
        $diff_lines = $diff->getSQLDiffs();
        var_dump($diff_lines);
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage(); exit;
    }
    
    # This generates the SQL and actually runs all of them
    try { 
        $diff_lines = $diff->runSQLDiff();
        var_dump($diff_lines);
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage(); exit;
    }
