repair-mysql

library0.0.5jsnpmunverified

Utility to repair, move, or import old MySQL databases from a non-working MySQL server by copying the data folder and using the dbsake tool to re-import into a new MySQL instance. Version 0.0.5, last updated circa 2018, targets Node 8.x. Useful for recovery when the old server is broken, or for migrations and backups. Limited to that specific workflow and not actively maintained.
