"""
Provides an extension to back up MySQL databases.

This is a Cedar Backup extension used to back up MySQL databases via the Cedar
Backup command line.  It requires a new configuration section <mysql> and is
intended to be run either immediately before or immediately after the standard
collect action.  Aside from its own configuration, it requires the options and
collect configuration sections in the standard Cedar Backup configuration file.

The backup is done via the C{mysqldump} command included with the MySQL
product.  Output can be compressed using C{gzip} or C{bzip2}.  Administrators
can configure the extension either to back up all databases or to back up only
specific databases.  Note that this code always produces a full backup.  There
is currently no facility for making incremental backups.  If/when someone has a
need for this and can describe how to do it, I'll update this extension or
provide another.

The extension assumes that all configured databases can be backed up by a
single user.  Often, the "root" database user will be used.  An alternative is
to create a separate MySQL "backup" user and grant that user rights to read
(but not write) various databases as needed.  This second option is probably
the best choice.

The extension accepts a username and password in configuration.  However, you
probably do not want to provide those values in Cedar Backup configuration.
This is because Cedar Backup will provide these values to C{mysqldump} via the
command-line C{--user} and C{--password} switches, which will be visible to
other users in the process listing.

Instead, you should configure the username and password in one of MySQL's
configuration files.  Typically, that would be done by putting a stanza like
this in C{/root/.my.cnf}::

   [mysqldump]
   user     = root
   password = <secret>

Regardless of whether you are using C{~/.my.cnf} or C{/etc/cback.conf} to store
database login and password information, you should be careful about who is
allowed to view that information.  Typically, this means locking down
permissions so that only the file owner can read the file contents (i.e. use
mode C{0600}).

# backupDatabase() function
############################

def backupDatabase(user, password, backupFile, database=None):
   """
   Backs up an individual MySQL database, or all databases.

   This function backs up either a named local MySQL database or all local
   MySQL databases, using the passed-in user and password (if provided) for
   connectivity.  This function call I{always} results a full backup.  There is
   no facility for incremental backups.

   The backup data will be written into the passed-in backup file.  Normally,
   this would be an object as returned from C{open()}, but it is possible to
   use something like a C{GzipFile} to write compressed output.  The caller is
   responsible for closing the passed-in backup file.

   Often, the "root" database user will be used when backing up all databases.
   An alternative is to create a separate MySQL "backup" user and grant that
   user rights to read (but not write) all of the databases that will be backed
   up.

   This function accepts a username and password.  However, you probably do not
   want to pass those values in.  This is because they will be provided to
   C{mysqldump} via the command-line C{--user} and C{--password} switches,
   which will be visible to other users in the process listing.

   Instead, you should configure the username and password in one of MySQL's
   configuration files.  Typically, this would be done by putting a stanza like
   this in C{/root/.my.cnf}, to provide C{mysqldump} with the root database
   username and its password::

      [mysqldump]
      user     = root
      password = <secret>

   If you are executing this function as some system user other than root, then
   the C{.my.cnf} file would be placed in the home directory of that user.  In
   either case, make sure to set restrictive permissions (typically, mode
   C{0600}) on C{.my.cnf} to make sure that other users cannot read the file.

   @param user: User to use for connecting to the database (if any)
