cwinters / golang_tidbits

Wee standalone Go utilities, mostly so I can see how my ignorance progresses over time.

Each one should be standalone and buildable with:

$ go build some_tidbit.go

For example:

$ go build mysql_dumper.go

Running a tidbit with no arguments should give you a little more information. For example:

$ ./mysql_dumper

Usage:
  ./mysql_dumper mysql-db-uri path/to/query-file.sql

Examples:

  ./mysql_dumper root:@/local?loc=UTC&parseTime=true popular_products.sql > popular_products.txt
  ./mysql_dumper cwinters:[email protected]/products?loc=UTC&parseTime=true awesome-users.sql > awesome_users.txt

Note that you can accomplish much the same with the mysql client:

  mysql --quick --compress --batch --raw --skip-column_names --user=you --password=secret \
    --host=some-host.example.com --database=mydb < some_query.sql > some_query_results.txt
