Hi Bob I could not find an example of the use of the DAC Dump component either. It looks fairly straightforward though: Define a connection, double click the component (design time) and enter the table names (if nothing entered then all tables are dumped), then use the <componentname> .Backup method to set it off. Setting of the tables to be backed up programatically could be done as well.
The DAC Backup Component is very similar in setup and execution with the added benefit of the backup being all server side with no network traffic overhead and therefore a faster execution. There is an addional option for the backup of a database ... use the scheduled backup available in the MySQL Administrator which is downloadable from the MySQL website (you probably have it already.) Hope this helps Graham Marsden _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
