Quick Database Check
 

Quick Database Check

Description
Many Hacks add data (tables, fields) to your database, and not all of them do hav e uninstall functions.
So after some time you may end up with a total mess, as you don't know what is standard and what not.

Then this tool is for you - it shows you which tables are non-standard, which fields have been added to standard tables.

Maybe planned features

• Exact check of column definition
• Check indexes
• Check for non-standard settings, settinggroups, templates, phrase & phrasegroups

Please note: If you currently do have Hacks installed, it will report all their tables/fields as non-standard, as there is no way to determine which belong to installed Hacks.

Usage
Just "import" the product XML (import will not complete, so nothing is ever added to your DB or filesystem).

Version History
1.0.0
Initial Version

1.1.0
Added proper support for table prefixes
Changed field detaction a bit

Very nice and clean Kirby. Just a few questions that pop into my mind when i look at the xml:
- Will this not give a false positive if i for example activated full text search?
- Will it also detect missing tables/columns

No, as it currently does not check for missing tables/fields, only for added.
And if you enable FT, two tables will be dropped (postindex, word)

As said, this was just a quick shot as I was annoyed having to cleanup a DB manually ;)

Thanks for this hack, i have been getting aggrevated at the current state of my database.

THANK YOU!!!!

/me clicks install.

Might want to alert people that they need to have install/mysql-schema.php uploaded. Many delete their install folder.

PHP alert's you if it is not there ;)

True. Just trying to have people not asking you about the error they will get.

Btw, nice. Found a couple of importid's I had missed.

RE: Maybe planned features.
Please do! :)

This is great...I do not mean to sound like a total fool, however, once you know what changes have been made, how do you revert them?

Thank you!!

I think it is useful

Thanks :)

Could it please be uploaded as a zip-file. XML-files tend to open in the browser, and will lead to many questions on how to save it. ;)

Sensational work.

My database had ended up in such a mess that some major new hacks could not be installed, even though they worked fine on my unhacked test forum.

Alas, I had to use Impex and rebuild everything to fix it. But still glad you have released this.

Tip: Rename the file to product.xml. Upload it to includes/xml/.
Now you dont need to browse for the file each time. Just click Import in the Import Product page without having to type the filename.

Really nice one, many thanks

Thanks Andreas it might be very usefull

Very nice!

Thanks for sharing Andreas.

thanks.

Thank you! :)

This is absolutly fantastic :) I has so many tables carry over from my upgrade that I can finally sort through easily! Thanks so much!

*Clicks Install

Is there like an "install but it really doesn't install" button I should click? ;)

It is in the bottom of his post. :D

LOL :D

Extremely useful! Many thanks for this hack! :)

great item but when does this stop working :) the ] keeps moving lol

never, it doesnt really install

Great work as always Andreas :)
It will be even greater when you get around to including the additional planned features

a long shot but, any chance this could be made to work on 3.6 please?
When i try to install it just says please wait and hangs there :(

Time for an update ^. ^

@bashy
It works just fine with all 3.5.X, 3.6.X and current 3.7 betas as well.
If you don't get any output, no changes were detected.

could be useful, I'll check it out later

Hi

The progress indicator never ends (tested with 3.7.0ß4). Is that correct?

Yeah - if your DB is unmodifed.
I'll add a message for that case when time permits.

Sorry Andreas,

my db is modified. Thanks for your answer :)

I guess a print_dots_stop() wouldn't hurt ...

When i import the product i become the follow error:

Warnung: require_once([path]/install/mysql-schema.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/admincp/plugin.php(1977) : eval()'d code (Zeile 1)

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/arynar/html/install/mysql-schema.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/arynar/html/admincp/plugin.php(1977) : eval()'d code on line 1

i have controlled the file permissions.
installed vB is 3.7.0

The schema (install/mysql-schema.php) is not in place - this file is needed.

So like, this will remove unwanted lines inside my DB? And is it safe to use on a vB 3.8.3 forum?

I have uninstalled a few products and stuff off my forum, and I was wondering if this would clean it up a bit. =)

Also nice hack by the read so far.

Will this work in vB 4? I'd really like something like this, thanks!
