4.1 SSH tunneling options

To setup the connection via SSH tunnel, input the following values in the correspondingfields:

SSH host name is the name of the host where SSH server is running SSH port indicates the port where SSH server is activated SSH user name stands for the user on the machine where SSH server is running (Note: it is a Linux/Windows user, not a user of MySQL server)SSH password is the Linux/Windows user password

Please note that MySQL host name should be set relatively to the SSH server in thiscase. For example, if both MySQL and SSH servers are located on the same computer,you should specify localhost as host name instead of the server external host name or IPaddress.

Use Private Key for authenticationIf the SSH encryption is enabled on the SSH server, a user can generate a pair ofcryptographic keys (the Private key and the Public key). The Public key is placed onthe SSH server, and the Private key is the part you keep secret inside a secure box thatcan only be opened with the correct passphrase (or an empty string as the passphrase).When you wish to access the remote system, you open the secure box with yourpassphrase (if any), and use the private key to authenticate yourself with the Public keyon the remote Linux computer.

SSH Key file Specify the location (the secure box) of the Private key file on your local machine.Supported Private Key file formats are:OpenSSHPuttySSH.comNote that you need to trust your local machine not to scrape your passphrase or a copyof your Private key file while it is out of its secure box.



4.2 HTTP tunneling options

To use HTTP tunneling, just upload the tunneling script to the webserver where MySQLserver is located, or to any other webserver from which direct connections to your MySQLserver are allowed. This script exposes the MySQL API as a set of web-services used by Data Export 2010 for MySQL.

In case of using this connection method the response will be slower as compared to thedirect connection or the SSH Tunneling method, since the data are XML encoded andHTTP is stateless by nature. However, all the features of Data Export 2010 for MySQLare available.

Note that the emsproxy.php script file is included into the distribution package and canbe found in Data Export installation directory.



4.3 Format specifiers

The following format specifiers are supported in the format string:

Float/Integer format

0Digit place holder. If the value being formatted has a digit in the position where the '0'appears in the format string, then that digit is copied to the output string. Otherwise, a'0' is stored in that position in the output string.

#Digit placeholder. If the value being formatted has a digit in the position where the '#'appears in the format string, then that digit is copied to the output string. Otherwise,nothing is stored in that position in the output string.

.Decimal point. The first '.' character in the format string determines the location of thedecimal separator in the formatted value; any additional '.' characters are ignored.

,Thousand separator. If the format string contains one or more ',' characters, the outputwill have thousand separators inserted between each group of three digits to the left ofthe decimal point. The placement and number of ',' characters in the format string doesnot affect the output, except to indicate that thousand separators are wanted.

E+Scientific notation. If any of the strings 'E+', 'E-', 'e+', or 'e-' are contained in the formatstring, the number is formatted using scientific notation. A group of up to four '0'characters can immediately follow the 'E+', 'E-', 'e+', or 'e-' to determine the minimumnumber of digits in the exponent. The 'E+' and 'e+' formats cause a plus sign to be outputfor positive exponents and a minus sign to be output for negative exponents. The 'E-' and'e-' formats output a sign character only for negative exponents.

Date/Time format

4.5 Configuration file format

The configuration file is divided into several sections.

[#General#]This section stores information about the product name and its major version .

[Connection]This section contains parameters for connecting to the server: Host, Port, Charset,tunneling settings, Login, Password (encrypted). These parameters are obligatory.

Note that parameter DBName used in previous versions is no more obligatory. You can setdatabases for each table and query separately in the [Databases] section.

[Tables]This section contains the list of database tables to export in the following format:<table key>=<table name>e.g.table1=Countrytable2=Employee

This section may be empty.

[Queries]This section contains the list of queries and their identifiers (used while loading queriesinto the wizard application) in the following format:<query key>=<query identifier>e.g.query1=CountryQ

[SQL_<query key>]Sections of this type contain query text for each query. The lines must be specified in thefollowing format:Item_0=<query line 1>Item_1=<query line2>etc.

See the example below:[Queries]query0=Query_0[SQL_query0]Item_0=select name, capitalItem_1=from countriesItem_2=where continent = 'South America'

This section may also be empty, but remember that if you do not specify any table orquery, no data are exported.

38



[Files]This section lists files for data export in the following format:<table key>=<filename><query key>=<filename>etc.

You can specify either full paths or relative paths, e.g.table1=table1.xlsorquery1=C:\Exported data\query1.docx

Note that you must specify the file extension properly to receive data in the requiredformat. Otherwise, extension .xls is taken by default.

[Databases]This section allows you to specify a database for each table and query in the followingformat:<table key>=<database name><query key>=<database name>

If you do not specify a database for a table or a query, the database name for this tableor query is taken from the DBName parameter value of the [Connection] section.

[Templates]This section specifies template files for each table or query. This template (*.exp) file isgenerated by the utility with the configuration (*.cfg) file and contains various exportsettings: export type, result filename, fields for export, number of records to export,specific Excel, RTF, HTML, or other options and more.

The section has the following format:<table key>=<template filename><query key>=<template filename>etc.

You can specify either full or relative file paths, e.g.table1=template1_xls.exporquery_clients=D:\Templates\template2_rtf.exp

If you do not specify any file name in the [Files] section, it is taken from the template. Ifyou specify neither file name, nortemplate for table or query, then the <table name>.xls filename is taken by default fortables, or <query key>.xls for queries.

You can set arbitrary table or query keys in the [Tables], [Queries], [Files],[Databases] and [Templates] sections, but they MUST NOT contain spaces and theyMUST be identical in different sections.



4.6 Using query parameters

Both the GUI Wizard and the console version of Data Export 2010 for MySQLsupport parameters in a query.

For example, you export data from a table named table1 and at Step 3 of the GUIversion of the utility you specify the following query, e.g. Query_0:

SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE field1 > :param0

Then you need to save the template file which will be used in the console version ofthe utility. To set the parameter value when using the console version , you need tospecify the following command in the command line (if you run the console version fromthe program installation directory and the template file is also located in thisdirectory):

MyExportC.exe TemplateFile -Query_0:param0=5where 5 is the query parameter value

If you export data from multiple queries, you need to specify the following command in thecommand line:

MyExportC.exe TemplateFile -Query_0:param0=5 -Query_1:param1=10 -Query_2:param2=15where 5, 10, 15 are the query parameter values
