Generic API for running console commands against a DB (previously hgg/dbbackup) from within a PHP application.

Warning: The commands are constructed containing the password in order to run non-interactive. This can be considered to be insecure.

Operations include:

• Create a database
• Drop a database
• Dump a table to a dump file
• Dump a database to a dump file
• Load a table from a dump file

    $output = '';
    $cmd = new DbCmd(new MySql());
    $cmd->dumpDatabase('username', 'password', 'localhost', 'database',
        'dumpFile', array(), &$output);
    
    // log $output
}
catch (\Exception $e)
{
    // deal with failure
}

Dump specific tables in a database

use HGG\DbCmd\CmdBuilder\MySql;
use HGG\DbCmd\DbCmd;

try
{
    $output = '';
    $cmd = new DbCmd(new MySql());
    $cmd->dumpTables('username', 'password', 'localhost', 'database',
