MySQL Users,
I have a local website development environment where I have a "master"
MySQL database.
I have several web sites which use the exact same database structure.
The structure of the master database doesn't change very often, but it
does sometimes. When that happens, I want to be able to synchronize all
the web sites to match it.
Currently, I'm creating a bash sell script so that I can update all my
web sites in one go. I've got it so that it will upload all the newest
PHP and other web files.
For MySQL, so far I've figured out that I can create a .sql file with
the latest database structure with this command:
mysqldump -u "root" -p"password" articlass_db --no-data
--result-file=backup_db.sql
But I'm now stuck on how to use that .sql file to upload the new
structure to each web site's MySQL server. Can this be done?
And can it be done in a non-destructive way. I mean, the web sites may
include data that I don't want to lose. So I don't want the new data
structure to wipe out any existing structure. I just want to compare the
master database structure with the one on the web site, and if there are
new tables or columns, then add them.
Is this possible without third party commercial software?
Thank you for any advice.
