# mysql-to-json

Connects to a MySQL database and exports selected data to JSON.

## Installation

```

$> pip3 install mysql-to-json

```

## Usage

```

mysql-to-json [-h] [-d DATABASE] [-H HOSTNAME] [-P PORT] [-u USER] [-p]

                     [-e QUERY]

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -d DATABASE, --database DATABASE

                        MySQL database name.

  -H HOSTNAME, --hostname HOSTNAME

                        MySQL host name.

  -P PORT, --port PORT  MySQL port number.

  -u USER, --user USER  MySQL username.

  -p, --password        Shh! It's a secret.

  -e QUERY, --query QUERY

                        Query to run.

```

## Examples

All examples simple select all table information from `information_schema` and save it to `tables.json`

### Simple

This assumes we have full access to the mysql database from localhost.

```

$> mysql-to-json -e 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables' > tables.json

```

### Medium Complexity

This explicitly sets a user and asks for a password, while still connecting to localhost.

```

$> mysql-to-json -d mysql -u seth -p -e 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables' > tables.json

```

### All The Things!

This explicitly sets every command line option available.

```

$> mysql-to-json -h mydbserver.myhost.com -P 3306 -d mysql -u seth -p -e 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables' > tables.json

```

### All The Things without prompt access

This explicitly sets every command line option available and uses password stored in variable `$MYSQL_PASSWORD`.

```

$> echo $MYSQL_PASSWORD | mysql-to-json -h mydbserver.myhost.com -P 3306 -d mysql -u seth -p -e 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables' > tables.json

```
