= YamlDb
YamlDb is a database-independent format for dumping and restoring data. It
complements the the database-independent schema format found in db/schema.rb.
The data is saved into db/data.yml.
This can be used as a replacement for mysqldump or pg_dump, but only for the
databases typically used by Rails apps. Users, permissions, schemas, triggers,
and other advanced database features are not supported - by design.
Any database that has an ActiveRecord adapter should work.
== Usage
rake db:data:dump -> Dump contents of Rails database to db/data.yml
rake db:data:load -> Load contents of db/data.yml into the database
Further, there are tasks db:dump and db:load which do the entire database (the
equivalent of running db:schema:dump followed by db:data:load).
== Examples
One common use would be to switch your data from one database backend to
another. For example, let's say you wanted to switch from SQLite to MySQL. You
might execute the following steps:
1. rake db:dump
2. Edit config/database.yml and change your adapter to mysql, set up database
params
3. mysqladmin create [database name]
4. rake db:load
